Questions & Answers

What does QSFP-DD means?
QSFP-DD means Quad small form factor pluggable double density, which is also known as QSFP56-DD. It is fully compatible with IEEE802.3bs and QSFP-DD MSA. When you compare this module to a standard QSFP28 module, the “double density” means that it allows twice as many high-speed electrical interfaces.

How do I select the appropriate 800G QSFP-DD DAC?
Consider the necessary length, signal quality, compatibility with your equipment, thermal performance, and price.

Can I connect earlier QSFP connectors to an 800G QSFP-DD DAC?
No, 800G QSFP-DD direct attach cables are intended only for the 800G standard and QSFP-DD connections.

What safety precautions should be taken?
  • Handle the cords with care to avoid damage.
  • Avoid excessive bending and twisting.
  • Ensure appropriate grounding.
