AddOn Juniper QDD-200G-DAC-2M Comp TAA 200G-CU QSFP-DD Passive DAC 2M

This is a 200 Gigabit Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cable with QSFP-DD connectors on both ends. It's a passive (unpowered) cable that's 2 meters in length, designed for high-speed, short-distance connections between compatible network equipment. It's specifically compatible with Juniper QDD-200G-DAC-2M equipment and is TAA compliant, making it eligible for government procurement.

\"Passive DAC\" means this cable doesn't contain any active electronic components that require power. Unlike active optical cables (AOCs), passive DACs are simpler, more reliable, and typically less expensive. They're ideal for shorter distances (like this 2m cable) where signal degradation isn't a concern, providing a cost-effective solution for high-speed connections within racks or between adjacent racks.

Yes! This cable is specifically designed to be compatible with Juniper networking equipment that uses the QDD-200G-DAC-2M form factor. It's been thoroughly tested to ensure proper operation in Juniper environments while providing a more cost-effective alternative to original Juniper-branded cables.

DACs offer several advantages for short-distance connections: they're significantly more cost-effective than fiber optic solutions, consume less power, generate less heat, have lower latency, and don't require separate transceivers at each end. This makes them ideal for high-density data center environments where connections are typically within a few meters.

QSFP-DD (Quad Small Form Factor Pluggable - Double Density) is a high-density transceiver form factor designed for very high-speed networking. It supports up to 200G or 400G speeds, doubling the density of the previous QSFP form factors. The increased pin count and enhanced signal integrity features make it ideal for next-generation high-bandwidth network applications.

The latest developments include enhanced testing protocols to ensure consistent performance at full 200G speeds and improved connector durability for higher insertion/removal cycles. Recent compatibility verification with the newest Juniper switches confirms this cable delivers reliable, high-performance connectivity in the most demanding data center environments.

This DAC cable is perfect if you need high-speed, low-latency 200G connectivity between Juniper equipment within your data center. At 2 meters, it's ideal for connecting devices within the same rack or adjacent racks while delivering maximum bandwidth at a fraction of the cost of fiber optic solutions. TAA compliance also makes it suitable for government procurement requirements.
