The Compatible 400G QSFP-DD to 2x 200G QSFP56 Active Optical Breakout Cable (AOC) is an efficient, high-speed solution designed to interconnect 400G network switches with two separate 200G QSFP56 enabled ports. Operating on 8x50G PAM4 modulation on the 400G QSFP-DD connector end and splitting into two dual-channel 4x50G PAM4 200G QSFP56 connectors, this active optical breakout cable provides seamless bandwidth expansion across modern data center architectures.

Engineered for high density, reduced power consumption, and low latency performance, this breakout AOC offers a reliable alternative to direct attach copper cables for medium-range links, ensuring stable 400G to 200G Ethernet connectivity in enterprise and high-performance computing (HPC) networks.

Key Features

• 400G to 2x200G Breakout Architecture: Converts a single 400G QSFP-DD port into two independent 200G QSFP56 connections for optimal switch port utilization.
• Advanced Modulation Technology: Utilizes 8x50G PAM4 configuration on the QSFP-DD end and splits into 4x50G PAM4 configuration on each QSFP56 end.
• Energy-Efficient Operation: Designed for low power requirements with power consumption rated at ≤8W for QSFP-DD and ≤4.5W for each QSFP56 transceiver head.
• Flexible & Durable Build: Features a Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket with a tight 30mm minimum bend radius for efficient routing in high-density rack environments.
• Broad Ethernet Compliance: Fully compliant with 400G/200G Ethernet standards for high-bandwidth switch-to-switch and switch-to-server connectivity.
