FiberMall 400G QSFP-DD to QSFP-DD Active Optical Cable (AOC)

Brand:

FiberMall 400G QSFP-DD AOC is a pre-terminated active optical interconnect for 400G Ethernet links between QSFP-DD-equipped switches, servers, NICs and data-center infrastructure. The family uses OM3 multimode fiber, 850nm VCSEL/PIN optics and 8 × 50G PAM4 lanes, with available lengths from 1m to 50m. It is positioned in FiberMall's 400G QSFP-DD interconnect portfolio as an alternative to short-reach copper and discrete transceiver-plus-fiber assemblies where a factory-terminated optical link is preferred.

OVERVIEW

  • FiberMall's 400G QSFP-DD AOC is a factory-terminated optical cable for high-bandwidth data-center and Ethernet interconnects, using QSFP-DD ends and 8×50G PAM4 signaling. Compatibility: designed for QSFP-DD interfaces and published for 400GBASE-SR8/200GBASE-SR4 applications; verify host coding and platform support before ordering. Model comparison: choose this QSFP-DD-to-QSFP-DD AOC when both endpoints use QSFP-DD; use FiberMall's breakout AOCs when one 400G port must connect to multiple lower-rate ports.

USE CASES

  • 400G switch-to-switch interconnect
    Connect QSFP-DD 400G switch ports without separately sourcing optical modules and patch cables, simplifying high-density fabric deployment.
  • Server/NIC-to-aggregation switch links
    Supports the published 400GBASE-SR8 use case for connecting 400G server-side NIC infrastructure to data-center aggregation switching.
  • Data-center spine-and-leaf networks
    Available lengths from 1m to 50m help accommodate different rack and row layouts without forcing a single cable length across the deployment.
  • High-bandwidth storage networking
    Provides a 400G optical physical layer for appropriately equipped storage-network infrastructure where the host equipment supports the stated Ethernet application.
  • AI/HPC infrastructure
    High-density 400G interconnects can be deployed between compatible compute, networking and aggregation equipment where QSFP-DD ports and the required Ethernet standard are supported.
  • Data-center cross-rack connectivity
    Longer family options up to 50m provide more cabling flexibility than very-short-reach copper solutions for suitable in-row or cross-rack layouts.
  • Network expansion and migration
    Multiple length options allow procurement teams to standardize around a 400G QSFP-DD cable family while matching different physical installation requirements.
  • Enterprise/private-cloud backbone links
    Suitable for high-capacity Ethernet infrastructure requiring a pre-terminated optical connection between compatible QSFP-DD endpoints.
