400G QSFP-DD to 4 x 100G QSFP56 Active Direct Attach Copper Breakout Cable (ACC/DAC), Active Twinax
Overview
The NSComm 400G QSFP-DD to 4 x 100G QSFP56 Active Direct Attach Copper (ACC/DAC) Breakout Cable is a high-density, cost-effective way to split one 400G QSFP-DD port into four 100G links for short-reach connectivity. With integrated active twinax copper and factory-terminated connectors, it simplifies deployment and reduces the need for separate optics and fiber patching in rack environments.
Designed to support stable 400G-to-4100G interoperability, this breakout cable uses a retimed 400GAUI-8 electrical interface (850G PAM4) to deliver consistent signaling in dense fabrics. It maintains structured cabling with a 70mm minimum bend radius and supports hot-pluggable operation within the QSFP-DD ecosystem. Compliant with QSFP-DD MSA, SFF-8636, and SFF-8679, it's well-suited for modern 100G server access and phased 400G upgrades.

Use Scenarios / Applications
-
ToR port breakout to 100G servers: convert a 400G QSFP-DD port into four 100G QSFP56 links for server/NIC connectivity in the same rack.
-
Leaf access fanout: use one 400G port to feed multiple 100G downlinks for rack pods and edge rows.
-
Phased upgrade paths: deploy 400G switches now while keeping 100G endpoints during staged expansion.
-
High-density switch fabrics: short-reach 400G breakout cabling for compact data center fabrics where fast changes and clean cabling matter.
