QSFP-DD to QSFP-DD-400G-AEC-3M10FT 400G QSFP-DD 8 x 50G PAM4 Active Electrical Cable, 3m (10ft)

The QSFP-DD to QSFP-DD-400G-AEC-3M10FT cable offers a direct QSFP-DD to QSFP-DD connection at 400Gbps. Its 3m (10ft) length and AEC construction are intended for multi-vendor equipment, with no separate transceiver-and-patch-cord assembly required.

The listed modulation format is 8x 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.

This assembly uses 32AWG conductors, PET jacket, minimum bend radius 26.5mm. 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, IEEE 802.3cd, CMIS 5.0. Confirm that the host firmware and port configuration support the same operating mode.

At 3m (10ft), this assembly can bridge non-aligned ports or adjacent racks while remaining a single direct-attach link. Support longer horizontal runs with suitable cable management and preserve space for cooling and future maintenance.

QSFP-DD to QSFP-DD-400G-AEC-3M10FT occupies the middle of this family between QSFP-DD to QSFP-DD-400G-AEC-2M7FT at 2m (7ft) and QSFP-DD to QSFP-DD-400G-AEC-5M16FT at 5m (16ft). It adds 1m over the shorter option for extra routing clearance, while the next longer version adds another 2m. Measure the managed path and choose this version when its reach is sufficient without creating the slack associated with the longer assembly.

The rated power consumption is 10W 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 HT cable carries the compatibility configuration associated with QSFP-DD to QSFP-DD-400G-AEC-3M10FT, while its mechanical assembly remains the fixed 3m (10ft) version described here. Incoming inspection, connector examination and a live link test are completed before packing. Customers with unusually old or new Generic software can request a pre-order check.

Use part number QSFP-DD to QSFP-DD-400G-AEC-3M10FT for the 3m (10ft) assembly. For mixed-length projects, list each required part number and quantity separately so that every cable can be tested and packed according to its intended installation.

HT inspects and tests every completed cable before it enters finished stock. Protective caps or covers are fitted where applicable, followed by anti-static or tray packaging and an outer carton. Custom labels can cross-reference the customer part number, QSFP-DD to QSFP-DD-400G-AEC-3M10FT and the 3m (10ft) length for easier inventory control.

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.
