Description

400G to eight 50G breakout passive copper DAC designed for reliable short-to-mid reach in-rack wiring. QSFP56-DD host end breaks out to eight SFP56 50G legs, offering simple, low-latency, and power-free connectivity. Compliant to 400GBASE-CR8/50GBASE-CR with CMIS for multi-vendor interoperability on breakout-capable platforms.

Features

- Eight 50G links from a single 400G port for efficient fan-out
- Passive 26 AWG twinax for dependable 2 m operation
- CMIS-managed, IEEE standards-based compliance
- Low cost and ultra-low latency versus optical solutions
- Pre-terminated ends speed deployment and reduce errors

FAQs

Q: What is the maximum reach?
A: This assembly is 2 meters. Ensure your platform supports 2 m passive 26 AWG links at 50G PAM4.

Q: Is it active or passive?
A: It is a passive DAC requiring no external power.

Q: Can I mix with optical transceivers on the SFP56 side?
A: No. The SFP56 ends are integrated copper; they are not receptacles for optics.

Q: Does it require FEC?
A: Yes, RS-FEC as defined in 802.3cd is typically required and managed by the host.

Q: Is it vendor-locked?
A: It is designed for platforms that support QSFP56-DD 8x50G breakout. Check your device’s compatibility matrix for coded DAC support.
