400G QSFP-DD to OSFP-RHS Active Optical Cable

MSA Compatible 400G to 400G AOC Cable (1-50m, QSFP-DD to OSFP-RHS, OM3/OM4)

The 400G active optical cable connects in 4x100G Gigabit Ethernet lines using OM3 or OM4 cables. The OSFP-RHS port has four 106.25Gbps transmit and receive channels, each capable of 106.25Gb/s PAM4 operation for an aggregate data rate of 425Gb/s. In addition, the QSFP-DD port has integrated 4 independent transmit and receive channels.
The 400G AOC cable conforms to OSFP and QSFP-DD MSA standards. It is compliant with IEEE 802.3db and IEEE 802.3ck specifications. The cable features a 4-channel 850nm VCSEL array in addition to a 4-channel PIN photo detector array. The AOC cable enables digital diagnostics functions using the I2C management interface that CMIS V4.0 specifies. The maximum data transmission distance supported by the QSFP-DD 400G to OSFP-RHS is 30m on OM3 and 50m on OM4. The AOC cable is ideal for cloud data centers, 5G/6G mobile networks, and high-resolution video processing.
