400G QSFP-DD-DAC Passive Direct Attach Cable

QSFP-DD Cable Assemblies

DESCRIPTION

QSFP-DD(Double-Density) passive copper cable assemblies double the number of high 25G/lane NRZ and 50G/lane PAM4 when compared to the existing 100G QSFP cabling systems from 4 to 8 lanes. The QSFP-DD cables enable 200G or 400G in application lengths from 0.5 meter up to and including 2.5 meter in lengths.

FEATURES

1. Configurable & flexible
2. Backwards plug capability to 100G; seamless transition to future higher aggregate bandwidth
3. Optimized PCB interface board with auto soldering process
4. I/O system has 10-12 watt single port dissipative heat capacity
5. Assembled with industry leading twin-axial SKEWCLEAR® 8-pair or 16-pair wire
6. EEPROM in cable assembly
7. Passive copper length to 2.5 meter
8. Compatible with existing 100G QSFP based connector ports (with heat sinks and / or light pipes) as well as 200G / 400G ports
9. RoHS2 compliant
10. Custom solutions supported

BENEFITS

1. 200G or 400G aggregate bandwidth capacity, dual 8-pair or single 16-pair wire supported
2. Addresses current and future market desired bandwidth port capability requirements
3. Exceeds 25G NRZ and 50G PAM4 performance and SI parameter in standard specification
4. Enables use of copper and optical based cabling solutions
5. Great SI reliability and physical capabilities (softer and better bending performance than other cables)
6. Programmable to customer requirements
7. Provides optimized cost, performance, cable bulk & routing solutions
8. Meets industry standard signal performance requirements up to lengths of 2.5 meters
9. Assured cable pluggability regardless of port bandwidth configuration
10. Environmentally friendly
11. Custom solutions from adapter cables to loopback cables and beyond
