Power and Thermal Planning

The rated power consumption is 0.1W (QSFP-DD End) 0.1W (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.

Breakout Port Mapping

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.

Passive Copper Operation

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.

Length Selection and Installation Planning

QSFP-DD to 2x QSFP56-400G-DAC-2M7FT provides 2m (7ft) for connections between separated rack units or nearby equipment positions. Plan the route around cable managers and power cords, keeping the assembly free from connector strain while avoiding a large obstruction in the airflow path.

Position Within the Length Range

QSFP-DD to 2x QSFP56-400G-DAC-2M7FT occupies the middle of this family between QSFP-DD to 2x QSFP56-400G-DAC-1.5M5FT at 1.5m (5ft) and QSFP-DD to 2x QSFP56-400G-DAC-2.5M8FT at 2.5m (8ft). 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.

Cable Construction and Routing

This assembly uses 28AWG conductors, PVC jacket, minimum bend radius 39.5mm. 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.

Network and Protocol Considerations

The intended application is 400G Ethernet. Listed interface and protocol references include IEEE802.3Bj, By, IEEE802.3CD, SFF-8679, SFF-8636. Confirm that the host firmware and port configuration support the same operating mode.

Generic Compatibility and Factory Testing

Each QSFP-DD to 2x QSFP56-400G-DAC-2M7FT compatible cable is powered up on a suitable test interface rather than checked only for continuity. We confirm the expected identification and observe electrical continuity, link stability and diagnostic readouts. Because operating systems can apply different qualification rules by hardware revision, the intended Generic platform should be included with the order.

Ordering Information

When ordering, specify QSFP-DD to 2x QSFP56-400G-DAC-2M7FT, cable length 2m (7ft) and the host platform. This allows our team to verify both the physical assembly and the compatibility requirement before production. Neutral labeling and customer packing lists can be arranged for volume orders.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this an original equipment manufacturer cable?

No. It is manufactured by HT under our own manufacturer identity.

Does this page include more than one cable length?

No. This page is dedicated to 2m (7ft) and part number QSFP-DD to 2x QSFP56-400G-DAC-2M7FT. Other lengths have their own part numbers and product pages.

Are separate optical modules required?

No. The connectors and cable form one complete direct-attach assembly. Do not attempt to detach or replace either end.

Can the cable be folded to shorten its routing path?

No. Follow the specified minimum bend radius and route the 2m (7ft) assembly without tight folds, sharp edges or excessive cable ties.

Quality Assurance and Packaging

Every QSFP-DD to 2x QSFP56-400G-DAC-2M7FT compatible assembly undergoes link testing, compatibility verification and visual inspection. The 2m (7ft) cable is coiled without exceeding its minimum bend radius, fitted with connector protection and packed in an anti-static bag or protective tray before cartoning. Project labels and packing lists are available for volume orders.

Shipping and Lead Time

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.
