Description

High-density 400GbE active optical cable with integrated QSFP-DD optics for short-reach data center interconnects. Delivers low latency and lower power versus discrete transceivers plus patch leads, ideal for spine–leaf and aggregation links up to 20 meters.

Features

- Integrated 400G optics—no separate transceivers or patch leads required
- Lower power and latency compared to discrete optics + fiber
- Lightweight cabling for improved airflow and easier routing
- EMI-immune optical link with consistent factory termination
- Hot-swappable QSFP-DD ends for fast maintenance
- Optimized for short-reach 400G spine–leaf and aggregation links

Technical Specifications

FAQs

Q: Is this compatible with any QSFP-DD 400G port?
A: Yes, it is designed for devices with QSFP-DD 400G ports. Always verify vendor coding requirements for your platform.

Q: Can this AOC break out 400G to multiple 50G or 100G ports?
A: No. This is a straight QSFP-DD to QSFP-DD 400G cable and does not provide breakout.

Q: What is the optical type inside the AOC?
A: It uses MMF optics at 850nm with 8x50G PAM4 lanes (SR8-class behavior).

Q: How does an AOC compare to a DAC?
A: AOCs are lighter and support longer reaches than copper DACs, while maintaining low latency and simple plug-and-play operation.

Q: Is it hot-swappable?
A: Yes, the QSFP-DD ends are hot-swappable per the MSA.

Q: Can I coil the extra length?
A: Yes, but maintain a gentle bend radius and avoid sharp bends or crushing to protect the fiber.
