Add-On QDD-400GB-AEC-1M-MX-AO 400Gbps Direct Attach Cable

Overview

The Add-On QDD-400GB-AEC-1M-MX-AO is a 1-meter TAA-compliant Direct Attach Cable (DAC) designed for high-density, high-speed network interconnects. It provides a cost-effective solution for short-reach applications within racks or adjacent racks, enabling 400Gbps connectivity between QSFP-DD ports. This cable is critical for data centers, high-performance computing clusters, and enterprise networks requiring maximum bandwidth and minimal latency.

Compatibility

This cable is engineered to be compatible with Mellanox networking equipment and any system utilizing QSFP-DD (Quad Small Form-Factor Pluggable Double Density) ports. It is suitable for connecting switches, servers, and storage devices that support 400GBASE-AEC standards. Ensure your network devices have QSFP-DD ports to utilize this cable.

Installation Notes

The QDD-400GB-AEC-1M-MX-AO features integrated QSFP-DD transceivers, eliminating the need for separate optics. Simply plug the connectors into the corresponding QSFP-DD ports on your network equipment. The cable is designed for passive operation, requiring no power input. Ensure the connectors are fully seated to establish a stable 400Gbps link. The 1-meter length is ideal for intra-rack connections, minimizing cable clutter and signal degradation.
