## Summary description

Passive QSFP56 to 2×QSFP56 breakout direct-attach cable by BlueOptics (MPN 980-9I98G-00H01A-BL). 2.0 m AWG26 copper assembly providing 200 Gb/s aggregated bandwidth split into two 100 Gb/s QSFP56 links for Infiniband HDR and compatible NVIDIA systems. Suitable for short-reach server-to-switch, switch-to-switch or high-performance computing interconnects requiring low-latency, high-throughput direct attach cabling.

## Long description

BlueOptics passive QSFP56 breakout cable 2m is a direct-attach copper assembly that provides 200 Gb/s aggregated bandwidth and splits into two independent 100 Gb/s QSFP56 links. The 2.0 m AWG26 twin-connector design is intended for short-reach high-bandwidth interconnects in data centers and high-performance computing clusters. The cable supports Infiniband HDR environments and systems that accept QSFP56 connections, delivering low-latency, high-throughput connectivity for server-to-switch, switch-to-switch or switch-to-host applications.
Advantages
This passive QSFP56 to 2×QSFP56 breakout cable offers a compact, cost-effective solution for creating two 100 Gb/s links from a single 200 Gb/s interface without active electronics. The AWG26 copper conductors are optimized for short-reach performance and maintain signal integrity across the 2.0 m length. The direct-attach form factor reduces installation complexity and power consumption compared with active or optical alternatives, while maintaining compatibility with systems that accept QSFP56 plug-and-play copper assemblies.
Suitable for
Short-reach server-to-switch links in data centers
Switch-to-switch connections requiring aggregated 200 Gb/s split into two 100 Gb/s links
High-performance computing clusters using Infiniband HDR or compatible QSFP56 ports
Low-latency interconnects where direct-attach copper is preferred
Key specifications
Aggregate bandwidth: 200 Gb/s split into 2 × 100 Gb/s
Connector type: QSFP56 to 2 × QSFP56
Cable length: 2.0 m
Cable gauge: AWG26
Topology: Passive breakout direct-attach copper cable

How to use
Insert the 200 Gb/s QSFP56 plug into the host or switch port designed for QSFP56 interfaces and connect the two QSFP56 plugs to the corresponding 100 Gb/s ports on the remote devices. Ensure ports are powered down or follow hot-plug guidelines of your equipment during insertion and removal to avoid link negotiation issues. Verify link speed and lane mapping in the host or switch management interface after physical installation to confirm successful link establishment.
Usage recommendations
Use this passive AWG26 breakout cable for rack-level, short-distance connections up to 2.0 m. Avoid routing the cable near strong electromagnetic sources and respect bend radius and cable strain-relief guidance from your hardware vendor to preserve signal integrity. Confirm compatibility with your switches, NICs or HCA firmware and port types before deployment.
