Description

This passive twinax copper breakout direct attach cable connects a 400G QSFP-DD port to two 200G QSFP ports over a 1 m run. It uses 400GBASE-CR8 on the QSFP-DD end and 2x 200GBASE-CR4 on the QSFP ends, with PAM4 signalling per IEEE 802.3cd. It suits short-reach, in-rack links where a single high-density 400G port needs to feed two 200G devices.

Enquire with XS Network Tech for new or used pricing and availability.
