Axiom QSFP-DD DAC Cable for Cisco 2 m | Direct Attach, 200G, Enterprise — QDD-2Q200-CU2M-AX

Keep high-speed switch-to-switch and switch-to-server links simple with a 2 m QSFP-DD direct attach copper cable from Axiom. Built for Cisco compatibility, this passive copper DAC is designed for short-reach 200 GbE interconnects where cost, latency, and rack density all matter. Compared with optical modules and separate fiber runs, a DAC reduces the number of components in the link path. That means fewer points of failure, less cable management overhead, and faster deployment in tightly packed data center racks. The 2 m length gives you enough reach for adjacent equipment and top-of-rack layouts without introducing unnecessary slack. For infrastructure teams standardizing on QSFP-DD ports, this cable supports a clean, direct connection model that is easy to deploy and easy to replace. It is a practical choice for environments that need dependable throughput without paying for optics where copper is sufficient. Ideal For Connect adjacent top-of-rack switches in a 200 GbE fabric Link servers to QSFP-DD switch ports in the same rack Replace short optical runs with passive copper in dense cabinets Standardize short-reach interconnects across Cisco-based infrastructure Why This Product 1 Short 2 m reach for adjacent rack connections 2 Passive copper design avoids optical module cost 3 QSFP-DD interface supports 200 GbE deployments 4 Cisco-compatible fit for standardized infrastructure
