Form factors valid for 200G

200G ships only with QSFP56.

Architecture

Straight-through, breakout, or custom RFQ

Breakouts split a single Side A connector into multiple Side B legs. Custom (RFQ) routes the configuration to engineering for review.

DAC Type

Passive vs Active selection (passive default for short links).

Defaults to Passive. Active is recommended for longer runs. Custom routes to engineering review.

Side B Connector

Mirrors Side A in straight-through; thermal top is independent

Side B mirrors Side A in straight-through. Choose a breakout architecture above to split into independent legs.

Length

Standard lengths in meters; custom triggers engineering review

Custom lengths trigger engineering review.

Vendor Coding

Both ends share coding in straight-through

Vendor coding ensures the part number routes correctly. "Custom" triggers engineering review.
