FAQ

What is the breakout configuration?

The cable connects one 200G QSFP-DD interface to two independent 100G QSFP28 interfaces, allowing a 200G port to connect directly with two 100G network devices.

What data rate does each optical lane support?

Each optical lane supports up to 25.78125Gbps, with the eight-lane architecture providing an aggregate data rate of up to 206.25Gbps.

What is the maximum transmission distance?

The AOC supports transmission distances of up to 70 meters over OM3 multimode fiber for short-range data center connectivity.

Can this cable connect new 200G equipment to existing 100G infrastructure?

Yes. Its QSFP-DD-to-QSFP28 breakout configuration is designed to provide direct connectivity between 200G QSFP-DD equipment and compatible 100G QSFP28 interfaces, making it suitable for network migration and expansion.

What is the benefit of the armored construction?

The armored construction provides additional mechanical protection against physical stress, making the cable suitable for high-density installations and demanding cable-management environments.
