## Long description

The BlueOptics 200Gb/s to 2x100Gb/s QSFP56 breakout cable is a high-performance passive Direct Attach Copper (DAC) solution engineered for demanding Infiniband HDR networking environments. This cable provides a reliable and efficient method for splitting a single 200G port into two independent 100G connections, facilitating high-density interconnects between servers and network switches. With a length of 3 meters and high-quality AWG26 cabling, it ensures stable signal integrity for critical data center infrastructure.
Advantages
This breakout cable offers a cost-effective alternative to active optical solutions for short-reach connections within a rack or adjacent racks. By utilizing passive copper technology, it eliminates the need for additional power consumption at the cable level, reducing overall operational costs and heat generation. The robust construction ensures durability and consistent performance, making it an ideal choice for maintaining high-speed data throughput in professional networking setups.
Suitable for
High-density server-to-switch interconnects
Infiniband HDR network deployments
Data center port splitting applications
High-speed cluster computing environments
This cable may not be suitable for long-distance connections exceeding its 3-meter physical limit, as passive copper technology is designed specifically for short-reach applications. It is also not intended for use in environments requiring fiber optic isolation or where electromagnetic interference levels exceed the shielding capabilities of standard copper cabling.
Key specifications
Connector Type: QSFP56 to 2x QSFP56
Data Rate: 200Gb/s to 2x 100Gb/s
Cable Type: Passive Direct Attach Copper (DAC)
Length: 3 Meters

To use this breakout cable, simply insert the 200G QSFP56 connector into the host port of your switch or server and connect the two 100G QSFP56 ends to the respective target devices. Ensure that the equipment ports are configured to support breakout mode to correctly recognize the split connections. The cable is plug-and-play, requiring no additional software or driver installations for operation.
What to consider before purchase
Verify that your switch or server ports support 200G to 2x 100G breakout functionality
Ensure the 3-meter length is sufficient for your specific rack layout
Confirm compatibility with your existing hardware ecosystem
Ensure that the cable is routed with appropriate bend radii to prevent physical damage to the internal copper conductors and to maintain optimal signal performance over the 3-meter span.
