BlueLAN Passive 200GBASE-CR4 QSFP56 to 2x100GBASE-CR QSFP56 Breakout Direct Attach Copper Cable, 1 Meter

The BlueLAN BL072001W1M26-BL is a high-performance passive breakout direct attach copper (DAC) cable designed for data center and enterprise networking environments. It enables a single 200 Gbps QSFP56 port to be split into two independent 100 Gbps QSFP56 links, providing cost-effective and low-latency connectivity for high-bandwidth applications.

Advantages

This breakout cable offers significant advantages in terms of cable management and cost efficiency. By consolidating two 100 Gbps connections into a single 200 Gbps port, it reduces the number of required switch ports and simplifies cabling infrastructure. The passive design ensures near-zero power consumption (<0.1W) and ultra-low latency, making it ideal for high-frequency trading, cloud computing, and large-scale data centers. The 1-meter length is perfect for short-reach connections within a rack or between adjacent racks.

Suitable for

• Data center top-of-rack (ToR) to server connections
• High-performance computing (HPC) clusters
• Storage area networks (SAN)
• Telecommunications equipment
• Enterprise network upgrades to 200G/100G

Recommendations

This cable is fully compatible with standard QSFP56 ports and is ideal for breakout applications where a 200G port needs to connect to two 100G devices. Ensure your equipment supports breakout mode and the appropriate IEEE standards (200GBASE-CR4 and 100GBASE-CR). For optimal performance, use within the specified temperature range and avoid sharp bends.
