QSFP56 to 2x QSFP56-200G-DAC-1.5M5FT 200G QSFP56 4 x 50G PAM4 to 2 x 100G QSFP56 2 x 50G PAM4 Passive Copper Breakout Cable, 1.5m (5ft)

This HT cable matches the QSFP56 to 2x QSFP56-200G-DAC-1.5M5FT requirement for multi-vendor equipment. The 1.5m (5ft) assembly supports 200G operation and provides a factory-terminated passive copper link without separate optical modules or patch cords; its complete electrical and mechanical details are listed below.

OEM Part Number: QSFP56 to 2x QSFP56-200G-DAC-1.5M5FTHT Part Number: QSFP56 to 2x QSFP56-200G-DAC-1.5M5FT

Product Highlights

• HT-manufactured DAC assembly in 1.5m (5ft)
• 200G connectivity at 200Gbps
• Interface configuration: QSFP56 to 2x QSFP56
• Fixed length and part number: 1.5m (5ft), QSFP56 to 2x QSFP56-200G-DAC-1.5M5FT
• 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.

QSFP56 to 2x QSFP56-200G-DAC-1.5M5FT occupies the middle of this family between QSFP56 to 2x QSFP56-200G-DAC-1M3FT at 1m (3ft) and QSFP56 to 2x QSFP56-200G-DAC-2M7FT at 2m (7ft). 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 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.

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 additional half metre beyond a one-metre assembly gives QSFP56 to 2x QSFP56-200G-DAC-1.5M5FT useful routing flexibility when the ports are not directly aligned. It can accommodate a different rack unit or a short service loop, but excess cable should be dressed loosely rather than folded into a tight coil.

Each QSFP56 to 2x QSFP56-200G-DAC-1.5M5FT compatible cable is powered up on a suitable test interface rather than checked only for continuity. We confirm the expected identification and observe electrical continuity, link stability and diagnostic readouts. Because operating systems can apply different qualification rules by hardware revision, the intended Generic platform should be included with the order.

Use part number QSFP56 to 2x QSFP56-200G-DAC-1.5M5FT for the 1.5m (5ft) 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.
