Credo HiWire 400 Gigabit (8x56G) QSFP-DD PAM4 to 400 Gigabit (8x56G) QSFP-DD PAM4 Active Electrical Cable (AEC), 1.5 Meter. P/N: CAC415321D1D-D0-HW.

This is a genuine Credo HiWire 400 Gigabit (8x56G) QSFP-DD PAM4 to 400 Gigabit (8x56G) QSFP-DD PAM4 Active Electrical Cable (AEC), 1.5 Meter (P/N: CAC415321D1D-D0-HW). Credo's innovative HiWire AECs are a next-generation interconnect solution designed to deliver the full bandwidth of 400 Gigabit Ethernet over longer reaches than passive Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cables, while offering a significantly lower power consumption and cost profile than Active Optical Cables (AOCs). This 1.5-meter AEC features QSFP-DD (Quad Small Form-Factor Pluggable Double Density) connectors on both ends, utilizing 8 lanes each operating at 56Gbps with PAM4 signaling, making it ideal for high-density, intra-rack, or adjacent-rack connections in demanding data center, cloud, and enterprise networks. It ensures reliable, high-speed connectivity for 400GbE applications with superior signal integrity.

Key Features 

• 400 Gigabit Ethernet (400GbE) Connectivity: Provides full 400Gbps bandwidth, supporting the highest speed networking requirements in modern data centers.

• QSFP-DD PAM4 Interconnect: Features QSFP-DD connectors on both ends, using 8 lanes of 56Gbps PAM4 (Pulse Amplitude Modulation 4-level) signaling for ultra-high data rates.

• Active Electrical Cable (AEC) Technology: Utilizes active components within the cable to boost and re-time the electrical signals, enabling longer reach and better signal integrity compared to passive DACs, while maintaining the cost and power benefits over AOCs.

• 1.5 Meter Length: Ideal for short-to-medium reach connections within a rack or between adjacent racks, providing flexibility in network design.

• Optimized for Data Centers: Specifically designed for demanding data center, cloud, and enterprise environments requiring high-bandwidth, low-latency interconnections for servers, switches, and storage.

• Superior Signal Integrity: Active electronics ensure robust signal quality over the length of the cable, minimizing bit errors and maximizing network uptime.

• Credo HiWire Reliability: Built by Credo, a leader in high-speed connectivity, ensuring high quality, performance, and compatibility.

• Power Efficient: Offers an optimized power consumption profile, contributing to lower operational costs compared to alternatives for similar reach.
