## Summary description

Passive direct-attach breakout cable by BlueOptics converting one 200Gb/s QSFP56 port to two 100Gb/s QSFP56 ports for Infiniband HDR environments. Length 1.5 meters, AWG26 construction; suitable for short-reach server, switch or HBA connections where passive copper split of a QSFP56 link to dual QSFP56 links is required. Provides straightforward port breakout without active components.

## Long description

BlueOptics passive 200Gb/s QSFP56 to 2×100Gb/s QSFP56 Infiniband HDR direct attach breakout cable is a copper passive breakout solution that splits a single 200Gb/s QSFP56 port into two independent 100Gb/s QSFP56 ports. With a length of 1.5 meters and AWG26 construction, this cable is designed for short-reach connections in HDR InfiniBand environments, enabling straightforward port breakout between servers, switches or host bus adapters without the need for active components or external power.
Advantages
The passive design eliminates the need for power or firmware, reducing potential points of failure and simplifying installation. AWG26 cabling provides consistent signal integrity for short-reach links while maintaining mechanical flexibility appropriate for dense rack environments. The breakout format allows one 200Gb/s interface to be converted into two separate 100Gb/s links, offering efficient port utilization in data center topologies where splitting high-speed lanes is required.
Suitable for
 Short-reach server-to-switch connections in Infiniband HDR fabrics
 Port breakout scenarios to increase usable 100Gb/s ports from a 200Gb/s QSFP56 uplink
 Direct attach connections between servers and HBAs or between switches in the same rack or adjacent racks
 Environments where a passive, low-latency physical layer is preferred over active optics
Key specifications
 Connector type: QSFP56 to 2 × QSFP56 passive breakout
 Aggregate data rate: 200Gb/s to 2 × 100Gb/s
 Cable length: 1.5 m
 Cable gauge: AWG26
 Media: Copper direct attach (passive)
 Target environment: InfiniBand HDR short-reach links
How to use
Insert the single QSFP56 end into the 200Gb/s port on the source device, and plug the two QSFP56 ends into the target devices or switch ports. Ensure that connected ports support breakout mode and that firmware or switch configuration allows converting a 200Gb/s port into two 100Gb/s channels where required. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and maintain recommended bend radius for copper assemblies. No external power or configuration is required for the cable itself.
Usage recommendations
Verify switch and host adapter compatibility with QSFP56 passive breakout cables and enable any necessary port breakout settings before deployment. Use this cable for short-distance intra-rack or adjacent-rack connections; for longer runs or where signal conditioning is required, consider active optical or longer-reach alternatives. Inspect connectors for debris before insertion and avoid excessive force when mating ports.
