The Cisco QDD-400-CU3M is a 400G QSFP-DD direct-attach copper cable measuring 3 m. Because the modules are factory-terminated at both ends, the cable cannot be shortened or re-terminated in the field — order the exact length required.
It is a direct-attach copper cable (Passive copper (twinax)): Passive, no external power, terminated with QSFP-DD to QSFP-DD connectors. It carries the link without separate transceivers at each end.
The QDD-400-CU3M reaches 3 m assembly length over Passive copper (twinax), while the QDD-400G-DR4-S reaches 500 m over Single-mode fiber (SMF). Pick the shortest reach that covers the link distance — going longer than needed costs more and adds optical budget margin you will not use.
