Axiom QSFP-DD DAC Cable for Cisco 1m | 400G, Direct Attach, Enterprise — QDD-4ZQ100-CU1M-AX

Keep critical Cisco connections tight, efficient, and easy to manage with the Axiom QSFP-DD DAC Cable for Cisco 1 m. This direct attach copper cable is designed for short-reach, high-speed links where simplicity and signal integrity matter more than optics. By connecting QSFP-DD ports directly, it reduces the need for separate transceivers and fiber patching, which can lower deployment complexity in dense racks. At 1 m, this cable is well suited for top-of-rack and adjacent equipment connections where excess length creates clutter without adding value. It supports streamlined cable routing, faster installation, and a cleaner service path for operations teams maintaining high-port-count environments. For organizations standardizing Cisco-based switching infrastructure, Axiom provides a compatible alternative that preserves the physical and electrical characteristics expected in enterprise deployments. Choose this cable when you need a short, dependable interconnect for high-bandwidth systems and want to avoid the added cost and management overhead of optical modules for a simple rack-level link. Ideal For Top-of-rack switch to switch connections in Cisco-based data centers Adjacent rack interconnects where 1 m cable length is sufficient High-density server and switching deployments that need fewer optics Short-reach aggregation links in enterprise network closets Why This Product 1 Short 1 m length for adjacent rack connections 2 Direct attach copper avoids separate optical transceivers 3 QSFP-DD interface supports high-speed Cisco deployments 4 Cleaner cable management than longer patch runs
