Q: Why choose the flat-top (FLT) version?
A: FLT provides a low-profile heatsink for enclosures with tight vertical clearance or when finned heatsinks may interfere with adjacent ports.

Q: Does this AOC support breakout (e.g., 4×100G)?
A: No. This is a straight 400G OSFP-to-OSFP assembly. Use a breakout-specific cable for split configurations.

Q: Is any additional fiber patching required?
A: No. As an AOC, the fiber is integrated; simply plug each OSFP end into the device port.

Q: Can it be used across racks?
A: Yes, provided the link distance is within 0.5 m. For longer runs, select a longer AOC length from the same series.

Q: How do I verify platform compatibility?
A: Confirm that your switch/NIC OSFP ports support 400G NDR AOCs with the appropriate vendor coding.
