Product Features
Technical Overview
This active optical cable operates at a data transfer rate of 400 Gbit/s, aligning with 400GbE standards for next-generation network backbones. The QSFP-DD (Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable Double Density) connector interface provides a compact, high-density solution that supports higher port counts in switches and routers compared to previous generations.
The fiber optic cable type ensures minimal signal loss over the 10-meter distance, maintaining signal integrity for high-speed data transmission. AOC technology incorporates electrical-to-optical conversion within the cable ends, enabling longer reach than passive copper cables while reducing power consumption and electromagnetic interference.
Key Product Advantages
This AOC cable offers several advantages for modern network deployments. Its active optical design provides a plug-and-play solution that reduces installation complexity and cost by integrating transceivers, while the fiber optic construction delivers high bandwidth with low latency and immunity to electromagnetic interference.
High-Speed Performance
Supports 400 Gbit/s throughput for data-intensive applications like cloud computing, AI workloads, and high-performance computing clusters.
- 400GbE compliant
- Low signal attenuation
- Suitable for backbone links
Simplified Deployment
AOC technology eliminates separate transceiver modules, reducing points of failure and simplifying inventory management.
- Integrated transceivers
- Hot-pluggable design
- Reduced cable clutter
Deployment / Use Cases
This cable is ideal for connecting high-speed switches and routers in data centers, enterprise networks, and high-performance computing environments. It supports top-of-rack (ToR) and end-of-row (EoR) architectures where 400GbE links are required for spine-leaf topologies or aggregation layers.
Common use cases include interconnecting Cisco Nexus switches, providing high-bandwidth links for storage area networks (SANs), and supporting bandwidth-intensive applications like video streaming, big data analytics, and virtualized infrastructure. The 10-meter length offers flexibility for rack-to-rack or within-rack connections without signal degradation.
Data Center Interconnects
Use for spine-leaf network designs, connecting leaf switches to spine switches at 400GbE speeds to handle east-west traffic flows efficiently.
High-Density Switching
Deploy in switches with QSFP-DD ports to maximize port density and throughput, supporting cloud service providers and large enterprises.
