400G QSFP-DD to 2x200G QSFP56 AOC (0.5-100m) Description
Our EDGEOPTIC 400G-AOC-QSFP-DD-2xQSFP56 is a multi-vendor compatible 400G active optical breakout cable designed for high-performance 400 Gigabit Ethernet and 200 Gigabit Ethernet applications requiring extended reach beyond passive copper limitations. The cable features a breakout 1-to-2 configuration with a QSFP-DD connector on one end and two QSFP56 connectors on the other, enabling efficient 400G to 2×200G connectivity for modern data center, cloud, and high-performance computing environments.
The cable supports multi-rate operation from 212.5 to 425 Gbps, allowing a single 400G QSFP-DD port to be split into two independent 200G Ethernet links. It supports 400G Ethernet operation at up to 425 Gbps on the QSFP-DD side and 200G Ethernet connectivity through the QSFP56 branches, providing flexible bandwidth allocation across switching, storage, and server platforms.
The 400G-AOC-QSFP-DD-2xQSFP56 operates at an 850 nm wavelength over multimode fiber (MMF) and supports distances up to 100 meters using OM3 fiber infrastructure. The integrated active optical design ensures stable high-speed transmission while reducing signal loss and electromagnetic interference commonly associated with copper interconnects. Its lightweight and flexible construction also improves cable management and airflow within dense rack environments.
The electrical interface conforms to QSFP-DD MSA and QSFP56 MSA specifications, ensuring interoperability with equipment from multiple networking vendors. Compliance with CMIS V4.0 further supports advanced management and monitoring functionality within compatible systems.
The cable incorporates DDM/DOM (Digital Diagnostic Monitoring) functionality, enabling real-time monitoring of operational parameters such as temperature, voltage, and optical performance. Standards compliance includes IEEE 802.3bs, IEEE 802.3cd, and IEEE 802.3ck specifications, supporting deployment in next-generation high-speed Ethernet infrastructures.
Designed for reliable operation in modern data center environments, the cable delivers long-term durability with an MTBF rating of 1,000,000 hours. Typical deployment scenarios include 400G to 200G breakout connections between switches, high-density server connectivity, storage networking, and scalable cloud or AI infrastructure where high bandwidth and low latency are essential.
Our 400G QSFP-DD to 2xQSFP56 active optical breakout cable undergoes comprehensive quality assurance testing prior to shipment, including optical parameter validation, connector inspection, and EEPROM verification to ensure consistent interoperability and reliable performance.
