Breakout AOC 1m (3ft) Ethernet 200GbE to 2 x 100GbE QSFP56 to Active Optical Splitter Cable

Item Description

This kind of AOC is a QSFP56 VCSEL-based (Vertical Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser), 200GbE to 2 x 100GbE active optical breakout cable (AOC) designed for use in 200GbE Ethernet systems. NEATEL in China can offer cost-effective NVIDIA/Mellanox compatible 1 meter active optical splitter cables. The cable connects data signals from each of the 4 MMF (Multi Mode Fiber) pairs on the single QSFP56 end to the dual pair of each of the QSFP56 multiport ends. Each QSFP56 end of the cable contains an EEPROM providing product and status monitoring information, which can be read by the host system. It is compliant with SFF-8665 for the QSFP56 pluggable solution, being widely used in high-speed data centers, and HPC (High-Performance Computing). This cable is designed with QSFP56 connectors on both ends. A common question is whether the splitter end's 100GbE ports are compatible with older QSFP28 ports. They are not compatible due to different signal modulation technologies (PAM4 for QSFP56 vs. NRZ for QSFP28.)

Features and Applications
