Description
The AddOn QSFPDD-8SFP56-PDAC2M-AO is an MSA and TAA compliant 400GBase-CU direct attach cable designed to connect a QSFP-DD port to eight individual SFP56 ports with reliable, high-speed copper connectivity. Operating over passive Twinax cabling with a maximum reach of 2 meters, this DAC delivers 56 Gbps per lane (PAM4) signaling, ensuring optimal performance for high-bandwidth applications such as data centers, servers, switches, routers, and high-performance computing environments.
Manufactured to strict quality standards, this cable supports IEEE 802.3bj, By, and CD specifications and features I²C EEPROM communication, a pull-to-release latch design, and 360-degree EMI/EMC shielding for superior signal integrity. With RoHS compliance and a limited lifetime warranty, AddOn’s DACs provide a cost-effective, plug-and-play solution for modern network deployments demanding high reliability and performance.
