Juniper Networks QDD-2X200G-1M 400G DAC Breakout | 200G, 1 m

Move 400G capacity into the exact 200G lanes your fabric needs with a direct-attach breakout cable built for short-reach, high-density environments. This 1 m assembly splits a single 400G connection into 2 x 200G, giving infrastructure teams a clean way to map high-speed ports without adding optics, patch complexity, or unnecessary power overhead. For top-of-rack, leaf-spine, and adjacent rack deployments, DAC remains the practical choice when distance is measured in meters, not floors. The passive copper path keeps latency low and simplifies troubleshooting, while the breakout format helps maximize switch port utilization in mixed-speed environments. That makes it a strong fit for teams standardizing on 200G endpoints while preserving 400G uplink flexibility. Use it where signal integrity, cable discipline, and predictable short-reach performance matter more than reach. In dense production racks, every saved watt and every avoided transceiver adds up. This cable is designed to do one job well: connect high-speed infrastructure cleanly, efficiently, and with minimal overhead.
