FAQ

What is the maximum data rate of this AOC?

The cable supports an aggregate data rate of up to 212.5Gbps across four optical channels, with approximately 53.125Gbps per lane.

What transmission distance does it support?

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

What optical technology does it use?

The cable uses 850nm VCSEL array transmitters and PIN photodetector arrays across four full-duplex optical channels.

Is the cable suitable for 200G Ethernet?

Yes. The QSFP56 AOC is designed for 200G Ethernet and other high-bandwidth networking applications requiring short-distance optical connectivity.

What is the advantage of the integrated AOC design?

The optical components and fiber assembly are integrated into a single cable, eliminating the need for separate transceiver modules and patch cables while simplifying installation and cable management.
