BlueLAN P08242-001 Compatible 200G QSFP56 to 2x100G QSFP56 InfiniBand HDR DAC Breakout Cable, 1m, Passive, 26 AWG P08242-001-BL

Direct Attach Copper (DAC) breakout cable for high-density 200G to 2x100G InfiniBand HDR links. Passive design with 26 AWG conductors delivers a 1-meter reach with minimal power draw, ideal for top-of-rack and adjacent-rack interconnects in HPC clusters and data centers.

Advantages

Passive copper construction consumes less than 0.5 W, eliminating optical transceiver costs and reducing thermal load. The QSFP56 to dual QSFP56 breakout enables a single 200G port to fan out to two 100G ports, maximizing switch port utilization. Gold-plated connectors ensure reliable signal integrity over repeated mating cycles.

Suitable for

• High-Performance Computing (HPC) clusters using InfiniBand HDR
• Data center top-of-rack to server or storage interconnects
• Enterprises upgrading from 100G to 200G without replacing existing 100G endpoints

Key specifications

• Aggregate data rate: 200 Gb/s (2x100 Gb/s breakout)
• Connectors: 1x QSFP56 to 2x QSFP56, gold-plated
• Cable type: Passive Direct Attach Copper (DAC)
• Length: 1 meter, 26 AWG wire gauge
• Impedance: 100 Ohm
