QSFP-DD to QSFP-DD-800G-AEC-2M7FTQSFP-DD to QSFP-DD-800G-AEC-2M7FT 800G QSFP-DD 8 x 100G PAM4 Active Electrical Cable, 2m (7ft)
For densely populated equipment, the fixed 2m (7ft) version of Generic QSFP-DD to QSFP-DD-800G-AEC-2M7FT offers a clearly defined 800G link without separate optical modules or patch cords. The AEC assembly uses QSFP-DD to QSFP-DD; its power, mechanical and diagnostic details are listed where supplied so port density and cable management can be assessed together.

Signal and Lane Configuration
The listed modulation format is 8x100G-PAM4. Both host interfaces must be configured for the same aggregate rate and lane arrangement. A connector that fits mechanically does not by itself guarantee that the remote port supports this encoding or breakout mode.
Network and Protocol Considerations
The intended application is 800G Ethernet. Listed interface and protocol references include CMIS 5.0, IEEE 802.3ck, QSFP-DD MSA Rev6.3. Confirm that the host firmware and port configuration support the same operating mode.
Length Selection and Installation Planning
QSFP-DD to QSFP-DD-800G-AEC-2M7FT provides 2m (7ft) for connections between separated rack units or nearby equipment positions. Plan the route around cable managers and power cords, keeping the assembly free from connector strain while avoiding a large obstruction in the airflow path.
Position Within the Length Range
QSFP-DD to QSFP-DD-800G-AEC-2M7FT occupies the middle of this family between QSFP-DD to QSFP-DD-800G-AEC-1M3FT at 1m (3ft) and QSFP-DD to QSFP-DD-800G-AEC-3M10FT at 3m (10ft). It adds 1m over the shorter option for extra routing clearance, while the next longer version adds another 1m. Measure the managed path and choose this version when its reach is sufficient without creating the slack associated with the longer assembly.
High-Density Rack Integration
In a densely populated rack, connector access and airflow are part of the link design. Choose the shortest length that follows the managed path comfortably, avoid tight bundles around the connector housings and preserve room for latch operation. Where power consumption is listed, include every populated interface in the host thermal budget rather than assessing a single cable in isolation. For this assembly, the listed conductor specification is 32AWG; the minimum bend radius is 36.5; the stated power consumption is 12W Per End; the jacket material is PET.
Power and Thermal Planning
The rated power consumption is 12W Per End. Include this load in the host-port power and thermal budget, especially in densely populated switches. Maintain front-panel clearance and do not bundle the cable so tightly that it obstructs airflow around the connectors.
Cable Construction and Routing
This assembly uses 32AWG conductors, PET jacket, minimum bend radius 36.5. These mechanical characteristics affect how the cable should be dressed behind the equipment. Avoid sharp edges, excessive ties and repeated tight bends close to the connector boots.
Quality Assurance and Packaging
Each assembly receives a visual connector inspection and functional link check before it is coiled and protected. Packaging is selected to avoid compressing the cable into a tight bundle, and optional rack-based labels help maintain an orderly installation when many identical interfaces are populated together. Standard protective packing is used by default, with project documentation arranged when requested.
Ordering Information
Provide the exact part number, length, quantity and target interface density. For multi-rack projects, list each length separately and identify any preferred carton grouping. Host model and software information can be included for a compatibility review before production or dispatch. Keep QSFP-DD to QSFP-DD-800G-AEC-2M7FT associated with 2m (7ft) throughout the order and receiving record.
Generic Compatibility and Factory Testing
The assembly is evaluated for host recognition and stable link operation, with diagnostics checked where the interface provides them. This approach verifies more than electrical or optical continuity. Exact platform and firmware information remains valuable in high-density deployments because port mode and qualification policy can differ within the same connector family. Both connectors are examined before the operating test, which includes link stability and diagnostic indications.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this an original equipment manufacturer cable?
No. It is manufactured by HT under our own manufacturer identity.
Are separate transceivers or patch leads required?
No. This is one complete direct-attach assembly. The ends are not detachable modules and should not be separated from the cable.
Can excess cable be folded into a compact bundle?
No. Use a supported, bend-safe service loop and observe the listed minimum bend radius. Do not crease the cable or tighten ties around the connector boots.
Will any matching connector operate at the same speed?
Not necessarily. Both hosts must support the stated rate, identification, lane mapping and any required breakout configuration; mechanical compatibility alone is insufficient.
Shipping and Lead Time
Standard configurations normally ship within one to three working days, with production quantities confirmed at order stage. International express, air cargo and sea freight can be selected according to destination and carton volume; customer courier accounts and nominated forwarders are also accepted.
