The new DQ+BC0003-DS+ 3m QSFP56 break-out cable replaces XQ+BC0003-XS+ at the same price, adding support for 200G to 4×50G splitting while retaining compatibility with 100G and 40G break-out modes - ideal for CRS812 DDQ and CRS804 DDQ deployments.
DQ+BC0003-DS+ is a QSFP56 200G to 4× 50G break-out cable designed to unlock the full flexibility of our recent 200G and 400G platforms.
It allows you to split a single 200 Gigabit QSFP56 port into four independent 50 Gigabit connections – perfect for maximizing port utilization and connecting multiple high-speed devices without additional hardware.
Just like its predecessor XQ+BC0003-XS+, this cable also supports splitting:
And now adds:
This extended compatibility makes it an ideal companion for next-generation switches such as the CRS812 DDQ and CRS804 DDQ, enabling flexible 200G/400G port deployments without complexity.
The cable is 3 meters long – the perfect length to reach all the necessary spots while keeping your server room neat and tidy.
