Dell DAC-Q56-200G-1.5M Compatible 200G QSFP56 4 x 50G PAM4 Passive Copper Twinax Cable, 1.5m (5ft)

This 1.5m (5ft) DAC cable is built for Dell equipment requiring the DAC-Q56-200G-1.5M interface. The 200Gbps link uses QSFP56 to QSFP56 and is supplied as one complete tested assembly.

Product Highlights

• Compatible alternative to Dell DAC-Q56-200G-1.5M
• 200G connectivity at 200Gbps
• Interface configuration: QSFP56 to QSFP56
• Fixed length and part number: 1.5m (5ft), DAC-Q56-200G-1.5M
• Cable construction: Passive Twinax
• Conductor specification: 30AWG
• Maximum power consumption: 0.03W Per End
• Minimum bend radius: 39mm

The rated power consumption is 0.03W 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.

The additional half metre beyond a one-metre assembly gives DAC-Q56-200G-1.5M useful routing flexibility when the ports are not directly aligned. It can accommodate a different rack unit or a short service loop, but excess cable should be dressed loosely rather than folded into a tight coil.

DAC-Q56-200G-1.5M occupies the middle of this family between DAC-Q56-200G-1M at 1m (3ft) and DAC-Q56-200G-2M at 2m (7ft). It adds 0.5m over the shorter option for extra routing clearance, while the next longer version adds another 0.5m. Measure the managed path and choose this version when its reach is sufficient without creating the slack associated with the longer assembly.

This assembly uses 30AWG conductors, PVC jacket, minimum bend radius 39mm. 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 IEEE802.3cd, SFF-8436. Confirm that the host firmware and port configuration support the same operating mode.

The HT cable carries the compatibility configuration associated with DAC-Q56-200G-1.5M, while its mechanical assembly remains the fixed 1.5m (5ft) version described here. Incoming inspection, connector examination and a live link test are completed before packing. Customers with unusually old or new Dell software can request a pre-order check.

Quote HT part number DAC-Q56-200G-1.5M with the required quantity. The 1.5m (5ft) 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.

HT inspects and tests every completed cable before it enters finished stock. Protective caps or covers are fitted where applicable, followed by anti-static or tray packaging and an outer carton. Custom labels can cross-reference the customer part number, DAC-Q56-200G-1.5M and the 1.5m (5ft) length for easier inventory control.

Lead time for ordinary configurations is normally one to three working days, while production quantities are confirmed with the order. We can arrange express courier or economy freight according to destination and carton volume, or hand the shipment to your appointed logistics provider.
