The 400G QSFP-DD to 4x 100G QSFP56 breakout Ethernet active optical cables are designed for use in 400 Gigabit Ethernet links over OM3 multimode fibers, each operating at data rates of up to 53.125Gbps per channel by PAM4 modulation. This breakout cable is compliant with IEEE 802.3cd, OIF-CEI, QSFP-DD MSA, QSFP-DD-CMIS, IEEE 802.3bs Annex120E SFF-8024, SFF-8679, SFF-8679 standards. Thin and lightweight AOC cables simplify cable management, enabling an efficient system airflow, which is critical in high-density racks. It is used extensively in cloud and supercomputers due to its low cost, high-value proposition, and increased reliability.
