Add-On Q56-200G-PDAC1-5M-AO MSA Comp DAC 1.5M 200G-CU Passive
Overview
The Add-On Q56-200G-PDAC1-5M-AO is a 5-meter passive Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cable designed for high-speed 200Gbps network connections. This cable is essential for linking network devices such as switches, servers, and storage systems within a rack or between adjacent racks where high bandwidth is critical. Its passive design means it requires no external power, simplifying deployment and reducing potential points of failure in dense data center environments.
Compatibility
This cable adheres to the Multi-Source Agreement (MSA) standard for 200Gbps connections, ensuring broad compatibility with network equipment from various manufacturers that support the same MSA specifications. It is designed for use with QSFP-DD ports, commonly found on high-performance switches and servers requiring 200Gbps throughput.
Installation Notes
Ensure the QSFP-DD ports on both the connecting devices are clean and free of debris before inserting the cable. The cable is rated for passive operation and does not require additional power. For optimal signal integrity, avoid sharp bends and excessive strain on the cable connectors. The 5-meter length is suitable for intra-rack or adjacent-rack connectivity.
