QSFP56

Quad 50 Gigabits Small Form-factor Pluggable Active Optical Cables

QSFP56 (Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable 56)  DAC is an advanced optical transceiver cable designed for high-speed data transmission in networking and data center applications. It represents the evolution of QSFP28, offering increased data rates of up to 200 Gbps per channel. QSFP56 DAC cables support various communication protocols such as Ethernet, InfiniBand, and Fibre Channel, making them versatile for diverse networking needs. These cables utilize fiber wiring and are an ideal low-cost option for short reach applications. With its compact form factor, hot-pluggable design, and advanced thermal management features, QSFP56 facilitates high-density and reliable connectivity solutions for modern high-performance computing environments.

Compatible Manufacturers

GigaTech Products has been a leading manufacturer of compatible transceivers and cables for over a decade, bringing customers affordable alternatives to Cisco, Juniper, Brocade, Dell, and HP original items. With the ability to custom code transceivers and direct attach network cables, GigaTech can provide compatible alternatives for most lesser-known brands, while ensuring 100% compatibility

Optical Transceiver Standards & Compliance​

Never Sourced. Never Recycled.

All components in GigaTech Product optics are manufactured under the same roof and represent the gold standard for reliability and consistency in performance. This vertical manufacture chain allows GigaTech to avoid unnecessary variances in transceiver casing or laser quality often found with online resellers who source their components from an ever changing vendor list. The transceiver is guaranteed to be built from A-Stock never used components overseen by GigaTech Products,

Rigorous Testing & Standards Compliance

The quality and standards of our hardware is one the base foundations of GigaTech Products. All of our components comply with MSA (Multi-Source Agreement) output standards and, in many cases, excel beyond those certification standards. Every transceiver we produce is tested on active network devices to ensure they comply with OEM equipment and are verified to be plug-and-play and do not require work arounds.
