1.5 m QSFP56 HDR cable

This 1.5 metre passive copper cable carries InfiniBand HDR traffic at up to 200 Gb/s through a QSFP56 interface. It is built for data-centre racks that need short-reach, high-density links between switches, adapters and storage nodes. The LSZH jacket meets low-smoke, zero-halogen safety requirements for enclosed cabinet runs.

Sustained 200 Gb/s over copper

Eight 50 Gb/s PAM4 lanes deliver the full HDR rate continuously across the 1.5 m reach without active equalisation. The 30 AWG conductors and 3.3 V single supply keep insertion loss low enough to maintain a bit error rate better than 1E-15 across the 0-70 °C operating range. Hot-pluggable SFF-8665 compliance means the link stays stable during live insertions and removals.

Replaces fibre for short HDR runs

This passive DAC replaces costly active optical cables and transceivers when the connection stays within a single rack or adjacent racks. The jump is worth it when power budget, latency and per-port cost matter more than reach beyond a few metres. It is not for links that exceed the passive copper distance envelope or that require multimode or single-mode fibre media.

Questions about this item

Does the passive copper design keep heat and power draw low during continuous 200Gb/s operation?

Yes, the passive copper construction requires no external power and stays within a 0-70°C case temperature range while delivering up to 200Gb/s.

What port type must my switches or NICs have to use this QSFP56 cable?

Each end needs a QSFP56 port; the cable plugs directly into those ports with no additional modules or adapters required.

Will the 30AWG conductors and 1.5m length fit cleanly in a dense rack alongside existing patch cables?

The 30AWG gauge and 1.5m length keep the cable slim and manageable for tight rack routing next to other patch leads.
