BlueOptics NVIDIA 980-9I48Z-00W002 BlueLAN Passive 400GBASE-CR8 QSFP-DD to 2x200GBASE-CR4 QSFP56 Direct Attach Breakout Cable, 2 Meters

The BlueOptics NVIDIA 980-9I48Z-00W002 BlueLAN passive 400GBASE-CR8 QSFP-DD to 2x200GBASE-CR4 QSFP56 Direct Attach Breakout Cable is a high-performance, cost-effective solution for data center and high-performance computing (HPC) environments. This breakout cable enables a single 400G QSFP-DD port to connect to two 200G QSFP56 ports, providing flexible network architecture and efficient bandwidth utilization. With a length of 2 meters, it is ideal for short-range interconnects within racks or adjacent racks.

Advantages

This Direct Attach Cable (DAC) offers a reliable and low-latency connection without the need for optical transceivers, reducing power consumption and cost. The passive design ensures zero power draw from the host equipment, making it an energy-efficient choice. The breakout configuration simplifies cabling and supports high-density deployments, maximizing port utilization and reducing cable clutter.
