QSFP-DD to 8x SFP28-200G-DAC-2.5M8FT 200G QSFP-DD 8 x 25G NRZ to 8 x 25G SFP28 25G NRZ Passive Copper Breakout Cable, 2.5m (8ft)

The HT-manufactured QSFP-DD to 8x SFP28-200G-DAC-2.5M8FT compatible cable provides 200G connectivity for multi-vendor equipment. This 2.5m (8ft) 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.

The listed modulation format is QSFP-DD-8x 25G-NRZSFP28-25G-NRZ. 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 0.1W (QSFP-DD End)0.1W (SFP28 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 28AWG conductors, PVC (OFNR) jacket, minimum bend radius 22.5mm. 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 QSFP-DD MSA, SFF-8432, IEEE 802.3bs-200GAUI-8, IEEE802.3by-25GAUI, CMIS 4.0, SFF-8472. Confirm that the host firmware and port configuration support the same operating mode.

The QSFP-DD to 8x SFP28 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.

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 2.5m (8ft) version is useful when a two-metre run would leave insufficient working slack. Before installation, check the complete horizontal and vertical path so that QSFP-DD to 8x SFP28-200G-DAC-2.5M8FT reaches both ports without tension at either connector.

QSFP-DD to 8x SFP28-200G-DAC-2.5M8FT occupies the middle of this family between QSFP-DD to 8x SFP28-200G-DAC-2M7FT at 2m (7ft) and QSFP-DD to 8x SFP28-200G-DAC-3M10FT at 3m (10ft). 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.

The assembly is configured for equipment that recognizes QSFP-DD to 8x SFP28-200G-DAC-2.5M8FT. Before shipment, we inspect both connectors and verify identification, link establishment and electrical continuity, link stability and diagnostic readouts. Host hardware and firmware revisions can affect third-party cable acceptance, so customers can provide the equipment model and software release for a pre-order compatibility review.

Quote HT part number QSFP-DD to 8x SFP28-200G-DAC-2.5M8FT with the required quantity. The 2.5m (8ft) 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.

Quality control includes connector appearance, cable identification and functional verification. Packing materials are selected to keep the connector housings and cable boots from taking impact during transport, and the coil is not compressed into an undersized bundle. Volume orders can include customer-specific labels and packing documentation.

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.
