400G QSFP-DD to 8x50G SFP56 AOC (1-100m) Description
Our EDGEOPTIC 400G-AOC-QSFP-DD-8xSFP56 is a multi-vendor compatible 400G active optical breakout cable designed for high-performance Ethernet and InfiniBand HDR applications requiring extended reach beyond the limitations of passive copper cabling. The cable features a breakout configuration with a QSFP-DD connector on one end and eight SFP56 connectors on the other, enabling reliable 400G to 8x50G connectivity for modern data center and high-performance computing environments.
The cable supports multi-rate operation from 53.125 to 425 Gbps, enabling flexible deployment across next-generation high-speed networking platforms. It is optimized for 400G Ethernet and InfiniBand HDR environments, delivering the bandwidth and low-latency performance required for GPU clusters, AI training systems, distributed computing, and large-scale data center infrastructure.
The 400G-AOC-QSFP-DD-8xSFP56 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 provides superior signal integrity compared to copper alternatives while maintaining lightweight and flexible cable construction for simplified routing and improved airflow in dense rack deployments.
The electrical interface conforms to QSFP-DD MSA and SFP56 MSA specifications, ensuring interoperability with equipment from multiple networking and HPC vendors. Compliance with CMIS V4.0 further supports advanced management and monitoring capabilities 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 InfiniBand HDR specifications, supporting deployment in demanding high-bandwidth environments.
Designed for operation within standard data center environments, the cable delivers long-term reliability with an MTBF rating of 1,000,000 hours. Typical deployment scenarios include high-speed switch-to-server interconnects, GPU server connectivity, AI cluster networking, and scalable 400G Ethernet and InfiniBand HDR fabric infrastructure where high bandwidth and low latency are critical.
Our 400G QSFP-DD to 8x50G SFP56 active optical breakout cable is CE and RoHS certified and undergoes comprehensive quality assurance testing prior to shipment, including optical performance validation, connector inspection, and EEPROM verification to ensure consistent interoperability and reliability.
