Juniper Networks QDD-2X200G-AOC-30M Compatible 400G QSFP-DD 8 x 50G PAM4 to 2 x 200G QSFP56 4 x 50G PAM4 Ethernet Active Optical Breakout Cable, 30m (98ft)

This 30m (98ft) AOC cable is built for Juniper Networks equipment requiring the QDD-2X200G-AOC-30M interface. The 400Gbps link uses QSFP-DD to 2x QSFP56 and is supplied as one complete tested assembly.

Juniper platform documentation distinguishes straight QSFP28 DAC or AOC connections from DACBO and AOCBO breakout operation. On channelized systems, the host port must be configured for the required breakout mode. Match this HT compatible cable to the exact Juniper part number and the intended platform configuration.

The optical engines and fiber are permanently integrated into this AOC. There are no detachable optical modules to clean or exchange. Handle the complete assembly by its connector housings and cable, and keep both ends matched to the same interface specification.

The extended 30m (98ft) reach supports connections across adjacent racks or between separated equipment rows. Secure the cable along its route, protect both ends from pull loads and preserve ventilation. The integrated AOC construction avoids a chain of separate modules and patch leads.

QDD-2X200G-AOC-30M is the longest of 10 verified length options in this family. Compared with QDD-2X200G-AOC-25M at 25m (82ft), it provides 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.

The listed modulation format is QSFP-DD-8x 50G-PAM4QSFP56-4x 50G-PAM4. Both host interfaces must be configured for the same aggregate rate and lane arrangement. A connector that fits mechanically does not by itself guarantee that the remote port supports this encoding or breakout mode.

The rated power consumption is 12W (QSFP-DD End)5.5W (QSFP56 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.

This assembly uses OFNP jacket, minimum bend radius 30mm. 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 802.3cd, IEEE 802.3bs, QSFP-DD MSA, SFF-8024, SFF-8679, SFF-8665, CMIS 4.0, OIF-CEI-04.0. Confirm that the host firmware and port configuration support the same operating mode.

The QSFP-DD to 2x QSFP56 configuration divides the high-speed interface into multiple lower-speed connections. Verify the upstream lane assignment, downstream port speeds and breakout setting on the host before connecting the assembly. Each branch must attach to the correct remote interface.

The HT cable carries the compatibility configuration associated with QDD-2X200G-AOC-30M, while its mechanical assembly remains the fixed 30m (98ft) version described here. Incoming inspection, connector examination and a live link test are completed before packing. Customers with unusually old or new Juniper Networks software can request a pre-order check.

Quote HT part number QDD-2X200G-AOC-30M with the required quantity. The 30m (98ft) 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.

Before packing, our team checks the cable jacket, connector boots, latches and identification of each assembly. The cable is then secured in a loose coil and protected against dust and connector impact. Neutral packaging, customer part-number labels and project-specific carton lists can be supplied on request.

Standard configurations normally ship within one to three working days. Worldwide courier, air freight and sea freight options are available, and shipments can also be sent on your own courier account or delivered to an appointed forwarder.
