BLUELAN BlueOptics Alcatel-Lucent QSFP-200G-C2M QSFP56 Direct Attach Copper Cable, 200Gb/s, 30AWG, 2 Meter

The BLUELAN BlueOptics Alcatel-Lucent QSFP-200G-C2M is a high-performance QSFP56 Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cable designed for 200 Gigabit Ethernet and InfiniBand HDR applications. This passive copper cable assembly provides a cost-effective, low-power solution for short-reach interconnects in data centers and high-performance computing environments. With a length of 2 meters and 30 AWG construction, it ensures reliable signal integrity and minimal latency.

Advantages

This DAC cable offers several key benefits: it consumes less than 0.5W power, eliminating the need for active components; it is fully MSA compliant, ensuring interoperability with Alcatel-Lucent and other standard equipment; and it supports PAM4 modulation across 4 lanes at 50 Gb/s per lane, delivering 200 Gb/s aggregate bandwidth. The passive design also reduces cost and complexity compared to active optical cables.
