Description

Add-On QDD-4QSFP56-400-CU1M-AO 1m 400Gbps QSFP56-DD Direct Attach Cable

Overview

The Add-On QDD-4QSFP56-400-CU1M-AO is a 1-meter direct attach copper cable designed for high-density, high-speed 400 Gigabit Ethernet (400GbE) connections. It utilizes QSFP56-DD (Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable Double Density) connectors, enabling direct, short-reach interconnects between network devices like switches, routers, and servers in data centers or high-performance computing environments. This cable eliminates the need for transceivers, reducing power consumption and cost for intra-rack or adjacent-rack connectivity.

Compatibility

This cable is engineered for compatibility with network equipment featuring QSFP56-DD ports. It is designed to be a direct replacement for Cisco part number QDD-4QSFP56-400-CU1M. Ensure your network switches, servers, or other devices have QSFP56-DD ports to utilize this cable's 400Gbps capability.

Installation Notes

The QSFP56-DD connectors are hot-pluggable, allowing for installation and removal without powering down network equipment. Ensure the connectors are fully seated in the ports to achieve a stable 400Gbps connection. The cable is rated for 400Gbps speeds over its 1-meter length. The country of origin is the United States.
