The customized-length straight 200G QSFP56 active DAC covers 3m to 7m links between 200G ports of switches, routers, servers and storage. It fills the gap between passive DAC and AOC for mid-length in-row and cross-row connections.

This product is designed and tested to comply with IEEE 802.3cd, SFF-8665, SFF-8679, SFF-8636. It plugs into any standards-based QSFP56 to QSFP56 port, and compatibility coding for specific switch or router brands can be done in our factory before shipment.

This cable is built to order in customized lengths. Our part number QSFP-200G-ACxxx identifies the configuration. Wire gauge follows the length: 30AWG for 3m, 28AWG for 4,5m, 26AWG for 7m. When placing an order, tell us the length you need and any label or packaging requirements. Samples for testing can be arranged before bulk orders.

Most orders travel by international express and arrive within days; palletized freight by air or sea is used for volume orders. If you prefer, we ship on your DHL, UPS or FedEx account, or deliver to your appointed agent in China for onward consolidation.

Every unit we ship is tested in our own test bed on mainstream switch and transport platforms before packing. Our test center has been fully upgraded, which sets us apart from other third party product providers: 10G, 40G, 100G, 200G and 400G transceivers and direct attach cables are verified on the latest top brand equipment, including selected original switches that can hardly be found elsewhere.

Transceivers and cables are individually protected against static and dust, then consolidated into sturdy cartons suitable for international courier shipment. For larger orders we shrink-wrap and strap cartons onto pallets. Tell us your warehouse or retail requirements and we will pack accordingly.

Because we are the factory, customization is straightforward: non-standard lengths, different jacket materials, specific polarity or breakout wiring, and compatibility programming for particular switch brands are all routine work for us. Small trial orders are accepted so you can verify quality before scaling up.
