MSA Campatible 200G to 4x56G DAC Cable(4xQSFP56, 26AWG to 30AWG)
MSA Campatible 200G to 4x56G DAC Cable(4xQSFP56, 26AWG to 30AWG)
The QSFP56 and SFP56 form factors are compatible with the 200G DAC breakout cable assembly, for 200G to 4x56G data transmission. Product information is provided via EEPROM, which may address each port. The I2C interface has the ability to read and write this data. Data transmission lengths of 1m (30AWG), 2m (30AWG), and 3m (26AWG) are supported by the cable. The DAC cable is appropriate for 200G Ethernet environments and conforms with IEEE 802.3bj and IEEE 802.3cd standards.

Questions & Answers
What is a 200G to 4x56G Direct Attach Cable (QSFP56 to 4x SFP56)?
The high-performance copper 200G to 4x56G Direct Attach Cable (DAC) links a 200Gbps QSFP56 port to four 56Gbps SFP56 ports. This setup allows flexible, high-bandwidth distribution between data centre and corporate network devices.
What are the main benefits of a 200G to 4x56G Direct Attach Cable?
High adaptability. Improve bandwidth distribution by splitting a 200G connection into four 56G connections.
Copper-based DAC cables are cheaper than optical ones for short-range interconnects.
DAC cables are more energy-efficient than optical cables for high-speed communications.
DACs have lower latency than optical lines, making device communication faster.
Can the 200G to 4x56G Direct Attach Cable sustain a maximum distance?
The 200G to 4x56G DAC cable is designed for short-distance connections, generally up to 3 meters. For longer distances, use Active Optical Cables (AOCs) or optical transceivers.
How does the cable spread 200G bandwidth over 4x56G ports?
The cable splits 200Gbps into four 56Gbps lines. This allows each linked device to work at 56Gbps, enabling parallel data transfers for jobs with multiple connections.
