    400G AOC Active Optical Cable Overview

    C-LIGHT 400G AOC active optical cables are designed for short-distance high-speed interconnection between modern data center and high-performance networking equipment. By integrating the optical interfaces and fiber cable into a single assembly, the solution simplifies 400G deployment while reducing the number of separate components required for short-reach links.

    The 400G AOC portfolio supports multiple high-speed interfaces, including OSFP112, QSFP112, QSFP-DD, and QSFP56-based configurations. It also provides breakout architectures for dividing a 400G connection into multiple 100G or 200G links, giving network designers greater flexibility when connecting equipment with different port speeds.

    The listed configurations use 850nm multimode optical transmission over OM3 fiber and support cable lengths from 1m to 30m. The product family is suitable for data center interconnection, enterprise network upgrades, high-performance computing, and other short-distance 400G applications.
