Dell 470-ADFD Compatible 200G QSFP-DD 8 x 25G NRZ Passive Copper Twinax Cable, 3m (10ft)

The HT-manufactured 470-ADFD compatible cable provides 200G connectivity for Dell equipment. This 3m (10ft) version is a factory-terminated passive copper link without separate optical modules or patch cords, with an exact part number and length that can be matched directly to the equipment requirement.

OEM Part Number: 470-ADFDHT Part Number: 470-ADFD

Product Highlights

• Compatible alternative to Dell 470-ADFD
• 200G connectivity at 200Gbps
• Interface configuration: QSFP-DD to QSFP-DD
• Fixed length and part number: 3m (10ft), 470-ADFD
• Cable construction: Passive Twinax
• Conductor specification: 28AWG
• Maximum power consumption: 0.1W Per End
• Minimum bend radius: 40.5mm

The rated power consumption is 0.1W Per End. Include this load in the host-port power and thermal budget, especially in densely populated switches. Maintain front-panel clearance and do not bundle the cable so tightly that it obstructs airflow around the connectors.

A passive DAC has no separate optical conversion stage. Its low-power, low-latency operation is useful for short equipment links, but the assembly must remain within the length and signaling mode accepted by both hosts.

At 3m (10ft), this assembly can bridge non-aligned ports or adjacent racks while remaining a single direct-attach link. Support longer horizontal runs with suitable cable management and preserve space for cooling and future maintenance.

470-ADFD is the longest of 6 verified length options in this family. Compared with 470-ADFD at 2.5m (8ft), it provides 0.5m of additional reach for a longer vertical drop, a wider rack or an adjacent-cabinet route. Confirm that the complete path requires this length, because unused slack still needs supported, bend-safe storage.

This assembly uses 28AWG conductors, PVC jacket, minimum bend radius 40.5mm. These mechanical characteristics affect how the cable should be dressed behind the equipment. Avoid sharp edges, excessive ties and repeated tight bends close to the connector boots.

The intended application is determined by the host interface and protocol support. Listed interface and protocol references include IEEE 802.3bj, QSFP-DD MSA, CMIS, SFF-8417. Confirm that the host firmware and port configuration support the same operating mode.

Compatibility is more than matching the QSFP-DD to QSFP-DD shape. This assembly is prepared for hosts expecting 470-ADFD and is checked for identification, stable link behavior and electrical continuity, link stability and diagnostic readouts. We recommend confirming the equipment model and software release for critical deployments or mixed-vendor installations.

Quote HT part number 470-ADFD with the required quantity. The 3m (10ft) length is fixed for this part number; if a different length is needed, select its corresponding page and OEM reference from the length list above. Standard HT labels and project-specific packaging are available.

Production inspection covers both physical condition and a live link check. Connector ends receive individual protection, and the completed assembly is packed without tight ties or sharp bends. For multi-length projects, cartons can be separated and labelled by OEM part number to simplify installation on site.
