Network Cable BlueLAN MCP7H50-V001R30 QSFP56 200GBASE-CR4 1m AWG26 Blue

The BlueLAN MCP7H50-V001R30 QSFP56 200GBASE-CR4 1m AWG26 Blue is a 1-meter passive direct attach breakout cable engineered for high-density, high-throughput network environments. It combines a single QSFP56 plug on one end with two QSFP56 plugs on the other end to enable breakout connections that support 200GBASE-CR4 and 100GBASE-CR2 standards. The cable uses AWG26 conductors and a blue jacket, offering a compact, low-latency physical link suited to rack, switch-to-switch, and server interconnects where short-reach copper connections are preferred.

Advantages

This direct attach cable provides reliable high-speed connectivity with reduced power consumption compared with active optical assemblies. The breakout design allows flexible port mapping from one 200Gbps QSFP56 interface to two 100Gbps channels, simplifying hardware consolidation and migration. AWG26 conductor sizing balances signal integrity and bendability for short-reach copper runs while maintaining consistent performance for data center topologies. The single-meter length minimizes excess cabling and helps maintain tidy cable management in dense racks.

Suitable for

• Short-reach connections between switches in data center racks
• Server-to-switch links requiring 200G or split 2×100G connections
• High-density aggregation panels and top-of-rack deployments
• Bandwidth consolidation and port breakout scenarios during network upgrades

• Supported standards: 200GBASE-CR4 and 100GBASE-CR2
• Length: 1 meter
• Cable gauge: AWG26
• Cable type: Passive direct attach copper breakout cable
• Jacket color: Blue

How to use

Insert the QSFP56 plug into the 200G-capable QSFP56 port on your switch or module and connect the two QSFP56 plugs on the breakout end to the corresponding QSFP56 ports on destination devices. Ensure both ends are fully seated and the latches engage for secure connections. Confirm that devices and switch firmware support 200GBASE-CR4 or 100GBASE-CR2 operation and configure port breakout settings if required by the host equipment. Avoid excessive bending near the connector areas and route the cable to prevent strain on the plugs.

Usage recommendations

Use this 1 m passive breakout cable for short intra-rack or adjacent-rack connections where low latency and cost-effective 200G/100G port breakout are needed. Verify compatibility with switch vendor breakout modes and ensure airflow and cable routing in dense racks are maintained to avoid thermal or mechanical stress.
