QSFP56 to 2x QSFP56-200G-DAC-1M3FT 200G QSFP56 4 x 50G PAM4 to 2 x 100G QSFP56 2 x 50G PAM4 Passive Copper Breakout Cable, 1m (3ft)

Use the QSFP56 to 2x QSFP56-200G-DAC-1M3FT compatible assembly where a 200G connection is required between compatible ports. This page covers the 1m (3ft) version only, with its own HT part number, specifications and compatibility verification.

OEM Part Number: QSFP56 to 2x QSFP56-200G-DAC-1M3FTHT Part Number: QSFP56 to 2x QSFP56-200G-DAC-1M3FT

Product Highlights

• HT-manufactured DAC assembly in 1m (3ft)
• 200G connectivity at 200Gbps
• Interface configuration: QSFP56 to 2x QSFP56
• Fixed length and part number: 1m (3ft), QSFP56 to 2x QSFP56-200G-DAC-1M3FT
• 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.

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.

At 1m (3ft), QSFP56 to 2x QSFP56-200G-DAC-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.

QSFP56 to 2x QSFP56-200G-DAC-1M3FT occupies the middle of this family between QSFP56 to 2x QSFP56-200G-DAC-0.5M2FT at 0.5m (2ft) and QSFP56 to 2x QSFP56-200G-DAC-1.5M5FT at 1.5m (5ft). 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 assembly is configured for equipment that recognizes QSFP56 to 2x QSFP56-200G-DAC-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.

This product is ordered as QSFP56 to 2x QSFP56-200G-DAC-1M3FT in 1m (3ft). Include the equipment model and software release if you would like a pre-order compatibility review. Other lengths use different part numbers and should not be substituted into the same order line.

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, QSFP56 to 2x QSFP56-200G-DAC-1M3FT and the 1m (3ft) length for easier inventory control.

Lead time for ordinary configurations is normally one to three working days, while production quantities are confirmed with the order. We can arrange express courier or economy freight according to destination and carton volume, or hand the shipment to your appointed logistics provider.
