400G QSFP-DD to 4x100G QSFP56 AOC (1-10m) Description
Our EDGEOPTIC 400G-AOC-QSFP-DD-4xQSFP56 is a multi-vendor compatible 400G active optical breakout cable designed for high-performance 400 Gigabit Ethernet, 100 Gigabit Ethernet, and InfiniBand environments requiring reliable short-reach optical connectivity. The cable features a breakout 1-to-4 configuration with a QSFP-DD connector on one end and four QSFP56 connectors on the other, enabling efficient 400G to 4×100G connectivity for modern data center, cloud, AI, and high-performance computing infrastructures.
The cable supports multi-rate operation from 106.25 to 425 Gbps, allowing a single 400G QSFP-DD port to be divided into four independent 100G links. It supports 400G Ethernet operation at up to 425 Gbps on the QSFP-DD side and 100G Ethernet connectivity through each QSFP56 branch. The cable also supports InfiniBand EDR and NDR environments, making it suitable for GPU clusters, distributed computing, and high-bandwidth low-latency fabrics.
The 400G-AOC-QSFP-DD-4xQSFP56 operates at an 850 nm wavelength over multimode fiber (MMF) and supports distances up to 10 meters using OM3 fiber infrastructure. The integrated active optical design provides improved signal integrity and immunity to electromagnetic interference while maintaining lightweight and flexible cable construction for easier routing and improved airflow in dense rack deployments.
The electrical interface conforms to QSFP-DD MSA and QSFP56 MSA specifications, ensuring interoperability with networking and HPC equipment from multiple vendors. Compliance with CMIS V4.0 further supports advanced monitoring and management functionality within compatible systems.
The cable incorporates DDM/DOM (Digital Diagnostic Monitoring) functionality, enabling real-time monitoring of key 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 and InfiniBand infrastructures.
Designed for reliable operation in controlled data center environments, the cable delivers long-term durability with an MTBF rating of 1,000,000 hours. Typical deployment scenarios include 400G to 100G breakout connections between switches and servers, AI cluster interconnects, storage networking, and scalable cloud infrastructure where high bandwidth and low latency are critical.
Our 400G QSFP-DD to 4x100G QSFP56 active optical breakout cable is CE and RoHS certified and undergoes comprehensive quality assurance testing prior to shipment, including optical parameter validation, connector inspection, and EEPROM verification to ensure consistent interoperability and dependable performance.
