FAQ

What is the breakout configuration?

The cable connects one 200G QSFP56 interface to four independent 50G SFP56 interfaces, allowing a single 200G port to connect with four 50G network devices.

What is the maximum data rate?

Each optical lane supports up to 53.125Gbps, providing an aggregate data rate of up to 212.5Gbps across the four-channel architecture.

What transmission distance does it support?

The AOC supports distances of up to 70 meters over OM3 multimode fiber, making it suitable for short-range data center and rack-level connectivity.

What optical components are used?

The cable uses 850nm VCSEL array transmitters and PIN array receivers for high-speed multimode optical transmission.

What is the benefit of the armored design?

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