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

Use the QSFP-DD to QSFP-DD-200G-DAC-2.5M8FT compatible assembly where a 200G connection is required between compatible ports. This page covers the 2.5m (8ft) version only, with its own HT part number, specifications and compatibility verification.

OEM Part Number: QSFP-DD to QSFP-DD-200G-DAC-2.5M8FTHT Part Number: QSFP-DD to QSFP-DD-200G-DAC-2.5M8FT

Product Highlights

• HT-manufactured DAC assembly in 2.5m (8ft)
• 200G connectivity at 200Gbps
• Interface configuration: QSFP-DD to QSFP-DD
• Fixed length and part number: 2.5m (8ft), QSFP-DD to QSFP-DD-200G-DAC-2.5M8FT
• Cable construction: Passive Twinax
• Conductor specification: 28AWG
• Maximum power consumption: 0.1W Per End
• Minimum bend radius: 40.5mm

The rated power consumption is 0.1W 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.

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 QSFP-DD-200G-DAC-2.5M8FT reaches both ports without tension at either connector.

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

This assembly uses 28AWG conductors, PVC jacket, minimum bend radius 40.5mm. 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 IEEE 802.3bj, QSFP-DD MSA, CMIS, SFF-8417. Confirm that the host firmware and port configuration support the same operating mode.

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.

Our compatibility setup for Generic QSFP-DD to QSFP-DD-200G-DAC-2.5M8FT is checked together with the physical 2.5m (8ft) assembly. Factory verification covers connector condition, host identification, error-free link establishment and electrical continuity, link stability and diagnostic readouts. Providing the exact host model and firmware release helps us identify platform-specific requirements before production.

When ordering, specify QSFP-DD to QSFP-DD-200G-DAC-2.5M8FT, cable length 2.5m (8ft) 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.

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.

Stock items are generally dispatched within one to three working days after order confirmation. DHL, UPS, FedEx, TNT and EMS are available for international delivery; larger consolidated orders can move by air or sea freight. Customer courier accounts and nominated forwarders are accepted.
