200G QSFP-DD to 2x100G QSFP28 Active Optical Cable

MSA Compatible 200G to 2x100G AOC Cable(1-100m, QSFP-DD to 2xQSFP28, OM3/OM4 )

The 200G QSFP-DD to 2x100G QSFP28 active optical cable adopts 8 channels full-duplex transceiver modules. It supports CDR bypass via I2C control. The cable assemblies on both ends have 8 channels 850nm VCSEL array and PIN photo detector array. The AOC cable complies with IEEE 802.3cd, IEEE 802.3bm, QSFP-DD MSA, and QSFP MSA specifications. The hot pluggable cable supports One side with a 200GbE connector, while the other two include two separate 100GbE connectors. The 200G end has a typical power dissipation of less than 4 Watts and the 100G end less than 2.5W. The AOC breakout cable has a single 3.3V power supply, an operating temperature range of 0 to +70ºC, and built-in diagnostic features. The transceiver is RoHS 2.0 compliant. The active optical cable uses digital diagnostic features via the specified I2C management interface by CMIS V4.0. The breakout AOC cable is ideal for 200GBASE SR8 Ethernet and 100GBASE SR4 Ethernet.

Questions & Answers

1. What are the advantages of 200G breakout AOC?
  1. Increased flexibility: The breakout AOC increases flexibility and scalability in data centers. By breaking down a single 200G connection into two 100G connections, utilizing existing 100G infrastructure while upgrading to 200G in some areas.
Improved resource utilization: allocate 200G bandwidth more efficiently by connecting to multiple 100G devices.
Enhanced redundancy: Create redundant paths for improved fault tolerance and reduced downtime.

2. What is the difference between 200G QSFP-DD to 2x100G QSFP28 AOC and 200G QSFP-DD AOC?
200G QSFP-DD AOC: Connects to a single 200G port on another device.
200G QSFP-DD to 2x100G QSFP28 Breakout AOC: Connects a single 200G port to two separate 100G ports. This provides greater flexibility and connectivity options.

3. What are the applications for 200G breakout AOC?
  • Connecting high-performance servers to top-of-rack switches.
  • Linking switches within a data center fabric.
  • Space-saving in high-density environments.
  • Upgrades from 100G to 200G in a phased approach.

4. Does active optical cables(AOCs) is better than direct attach copper(DAC) cables?
In some scenarios, AOCs have advantages over DACs. First, longer distance transmission, AOCs transmit longer up to 100m using fiber optics. DACs are limited to short distances due to signal attenuation in copper. Second, AOCs using fiber optic cables are immune to electromagnetic interference(EMI). However, DACs are easily affected by EMI. Third, the AOCs are smaller and lighter than DACs, which can simplify cable management and improve airflow in densely packed equipment racks.
