QSFP-DD to QSFP-DD-800G-AEC-1M3FT 800G QSFP-DD 8 x 100G PAM4 Active Electrical Cable, 1m (3ft)

The QSFP-DD to QSFP-DD-800G-AEC-1M3FT cable offers a direct QSFP-DD to QSFP-DD connection at 800Gbps. Its 1m (3ft) length and AEC construction are intended for multi-vendor equipment, with no separate transceiver-and-patch-cord assembly required.

OEM Part Number: QSFP-DD to QSFP-DD-800G-AEC-1M3FTHT Part Number: QSFP-DD to QSFP-DD-800G-AEC-1M3FT

Product Highlights

• HT-manufactured AEC assembly in 1m (3ft)
• 800G connectivity at 800Gbps
• Interface configuration: QSFP-DD to QSFP-DD
• Fixed length and part number: 1m (3ft), QSFP-DD to QSFP-DD-800G-AEC-1M3FT
• Cable construction: Active DAC (AEC)
• Conductor specification: 32AWG
• Maximum power consumption: 12W Per End
• Minimum bend radius: 36.5

The listed modulation format is 8x100G-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.

The rated power consumption is 12W 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 32AWG conductors, PET jacket, minimum bend radius 36.5. 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 800G Ethernet. Listed interface and protocol references include CMIS 5.0, IEEE 802.3ck, QSFP-DD MSA Rev6.3. Confirm that the host firmware and port configuration support the same operating mode.

At 1m (3ft), QSFP-DD to QSFP-DD-800G-AEC-1M3FT is a practical choice for direct connections within one rack. Route the cable along the intended management path rather than pulling it diagonally across adjacent connectors, and leave enough clearance for insertion, removal and front-panel airflow.

QSFP-DD to QSFP-DD-800G-AEC-1M3FT is the shortest of 4 verified length options in this family. It is the preferred choice when the port positions are close and cable slack must be kept to a minimum. The next option is QSFP-DD to QSFP-DD-800G-AEC-2M7FT at 2m (7ft), adding 1m for a less direct routing path; selecting it unnecessarily would leave more cable to dress.

The assembly is configured for equipment that recognizes QSFP-DD to QSFP-DD-800G-AEC-1M3FT. 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.

Use part number QSFP-DD to QSFP-DD-800G-AEC-1M3FT for the 1m (3ft) 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.

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.

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.
