800G Optical Transceivers: OSFP and QSFP-DD Product Detail

800G QSFP-DD DAC

800G QSFP-DD DAC is a passive twinax direct-attach cable for ai clusters and high-density data-center interconnects, with length and compatibility defined by the ordered version.

Product specification information

Use the published model direction and key parameters for selection and sample planning. Confirm compatibility coding, optional temperature grade, and production parameters in the formal specification or order document.

Product overview

800G QSFP-DD DAC integrates both host ends and the cable assembly for fixed short-reach deployment. Confirm the exact length, both host models, port mode, FEC, routing space, temperature, compatibility coding and delivery version before ordering.

  • 800G QSFP-DD DAC form factor for the defined host-port direction.

  • QSFP-DD to QSFP-DD interface for Custom length links.

  • Passive Twinax direct-attach cable; confirm the exact fiber or cable assembly before ordering.

  • Validate host coding, FEC, diagnostics, power, thermal behavior and long-duration stability.

Selection and deployment notes

  • Before ordering 800G QSFP-DD DAC, confirm the exact host, software, port mode, reach, fiber or cable, connector, FEC, temperature, quantity, compatibility coding and delivery version.

Selection FAQ

800G QSFP-DD DAC selection questions

Does 800G QSFP-DD DAC need FEC enabled on the host?

800G QSFP-DD DAC is a passive Twinax assembly with no retimer, so FEC and lane mode are decided entirely by the two QSFP-DD host ports. Confirm the FEC mode the target platform expects before ordering, because a passive cable cannot compensate for a host that assumes a retimed link.

What limits the usable length of 800G QSFP-DD DAC?

Insertion loss across the Twinax pairs, the wire gauge of the ordered P/N and the equalization budget of each QSFP-DD port it plugs into. 800G QSFP-DD DAC is built to a fixed length and cannot be trimmed on site, so order it against the measured cable path rather than a nominal rack distance.

What do I need to specify to request a quote for 800G QSFP-DD DAC?

Give the host vendor, model and software version at both ends, the QSFP-DD port or lane mode, the operating temperature range, the quantity per site and the target delivery date. For 800G QSFP-DD DAC also state the exact length per link and the routing path it has to follow. Compatibility is confirmed per platform, so the host details matter as much as the optical specification.
