QSFP56 to 2x QSFP56-200G-DAC-0.5M2FT 200G QSFP56 4 x 50G PAM4 to 2 x 100G QSFP56 2 x 50G PAM4 Passive Copper Breakout Cable, 0.5m (2ft)

Designed for hosts that recognize QSFP56 to 2x QSFP56-200G-DAC-0.5M2FT, this QSFP56 to 2x QSFP56 cable delivers 200G transmission over a fixed 0.5m (2ft) assembly. Its DAC construction provides a factory-terminated passive copper link without separate optical modules or patch cords.

OEM Part Number: QSFP56 to 2x QSFP56-200G-DAC-0.5M2FTHT Part Number: QSFP56 to 2x QSFP56-200G-DAC-0.5M2FT

Product Highlights

• HT-manufactured DAC assembly in 0.5m (2ft)
• 200G connectivity at 200Gbps
• Interface configuration: QSFP56 to 2x QSFP56
• Fixed length and part number: 0.5m (2ft), QSFP56 to 2x QSFP56-200G-DAC-0.5M2FT
• Cable construction: Passive Twinax
• Conductor specification: 30AWG
• Maximum power consumption: 0.1W (200G End) 0.1W (100G Per End)
• Minimum bend radius: 26mm

The rated power consumption is 0.1W (200G End) 0.1W (100G 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.

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 0.5m (2ft) length is suited to closely aligned ports where excessive slack would obstruct airflow or complicate dressing. Measure the actual port-to-port path before choosing QSFP56 to 2x QSFP56-200G-DAC-0.5M2FT; even a short assembly must retain the specified bend radius and should never be pulled tight behind the equipment.

QSFP56 to 2x QSFP56-200G-DAC-0.5M2FT is the shortest of 6 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 QSFP56 to 2x QSFP56-200G-DAC-1M3FT at 1m (3ft), adding 0.5m for a less direct routing path; selecting it unnecessarily would leave more cable to dress.

This assembly uses 30AWG conductors, PVC (OFNR) jacket, minimum bend radius 26mm. 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 802.3cd, SFF-8665, QSFP56 MSA. Confirm that the host firmware and port configuration support the same operating mode.

The QSFP56 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.

For this Generic application, testing combines digital identification with actual traffic-link verification and electrical continuity, link stability and diagnostic readouts. Both ends are inspected for latch, boot and connector damage. If the project uses a specific hardware revision or a channelized port, send those details so that the intended configuration can be reviewed before shipment.

When ordering, specify QSFP56 to 2x QSFP56-200G-DAC-0.5M2FT, cable length 0.5m (2ft) 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.

Available stock is usually packed and handed to the carrier within one to three working days. Delivery can be arranged by international express, air cargo or sea freight, with tracking details supplied after dispatch. Freight-collect shipments and delivery to a customer warehouse or forwarder can also be coordinated.
