Questions & Answers

What is a 200G QSFP56 to QSFP56 active optical cable?
The two-way 200G QSFP56 to QSFP56 Active Optical Line (AOC) is a high-speed, low-latency line designed for short distance data transmission. It has QSFP56 ports on both ends and uses optical fibre to provide data speeds of up to 200 gigabits per second (Gbps).

What are benefits of 200G QSFP56 Active Optical Cable?
The 200G QSFP56 AOC cable supports high speed data transfer up to 200G. The active optical cable is low latency less signal loss. Moreover, this cable is energy efficient in data center infrastructures. The 200G QSFP56 AOC supports up to 100 meters data transmission.

What are the 200G QSFP56 AOC applications?
In data centers: ultra-high-speed AOC cables connect computers, storage systems, and switches.
High-Performance computer (HPC): Making it easier to send and receive data in study and scientific computer settings.
Cloud Computing: Providing high-bandwidth interconnects between cloud system components.
Telecommunications: Making links for high-demand communication networks fast and efficient.

What’s the difference between a 200G QSFP56 AOC and a 200G DAC cable?
Both the 200G DAC (Direct Attach Copper) and 200G QSFP56 AOC(Active Optical Cable) are capable of handling extremely high data speeds. The AOC, on the other hand, transmits data via fibre optics, which improves its performance across greater distances with strong electromagnetic interference. Conversely, DAC cables are less expensive for short-range connections (often up to 7 meters), but they perform worse over longer distances and may cause signal loss.
