Optical Transceivers

800G OSFP / QSFP-DD Active Optical Cables (AOCs) are designed for short-distance interconnections within data centers and comply with IEEE 802.3 standards. These cables utilize 8 parallel pairs of multimode fiber, allowing for data transmission over distances up to 30 meters (OM3) or 70 meters (OM4/OM5) with Forward Error Correction (FEC). Each end of the cable features an 800G OSFP SR8 optical transceiver module, with 8-channel 850nm VCSEL and PIN components. The transmission rate per channel reaches up to 112Gbps (112G PAM4). Breakout Active Optical Cables (AOCs) allow a single high-speed port to connect to multiple lower-speed connections, offering enhanced flexibility and reduced costs.

400G OSFP/QSFP-DD Active Optical Cables (AOCs) are designed to support 400 Gigabit Ethernet applications, offering high-bandwidth and low-latency connectivity primarily within data centers. These OSFP AOCs comply with industry standards such as IEEE 802.3 and the OSFP MSA.

400G QSFP-DD AOC utilize the QSFP-DD (Quad Small Form-Factor Pluggable Double Density) form factor, which allows for eight lanes of electrical signals, each operating at 50 Gbps PAM4, resulting in a total bandwidth of 400 Gbps. They are compliant with QSFP-DD MSA and IEEE 802.3 standards, ensuring reliable performance and compatibility.

200G QSFP56 Active Optical Cables (AOCs) are designed for 200 Gigabit Ethernet and InfiniBand HDR connectivity, providing high-speed data transmission over short to medium distances. These cables are hot-pluggable and typically feature QSFP56 connectors on both ends. They utilize VCSEL-based (Vertical Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser) technology and often employ PAM4 signaling for efficient data transfer, transmission up to 100m over MMF OM3.

100G QSFP28 Active Optical Cables (AOCs) are crucial for 100 Gigabit Ethernet applications, offering high performance and low power consumption for short-range data communication and interconnects. These cables typically feature QSFP28 connectors on both ends and support a total data rate of 100 Gbps by combining four independent lanes of 25 Gbps each.

40G QSFP Active Optical Cables (AOCs) are high-performance, low-power integrated cables suitable for short-range multi-lane data communication and interconnect applications, primarily supporting 40G Ethernet. They typically feature QSFP+ to QSFP+ connectors and are a cost-effective solution for high bandwidth and transmission rates over short distance.

25G SFP28 AOC, 10G SFP+ Active Optical Cables (AOCs) are designed for high-speed data transmission over short to medium distances. These cables support 25G/10G Ethernet applications and are characterized by their compact design, low power consumption, and high port density.

Cable Length and Fiber Type: Customers can specify precise cable lengths to minimize slack and optimize routing, as well as choose between various fiber types (e.g., OM3, OM4, OM5 multimode fiber) based on distance requirements and bandwidth needs.

Connector Types: While standard AOCs often feature identical connectors on both ends (e.g., QSFP-DD to QSFP-DD), customized solutions can incorporate different connector types, such as OSFP to QSFP-DD, or breakout configurations like OSFP to 2xQSFP112. This allows for connections between different form factors or for splitting high-bandwidth links.

Power Consumption and Thermal Management: For applications with strict power budgets or challenging thermal environments, custom AOCs can be engineered for lower power consumption or with enhanced thermal dissipation features.

Compliance and Certifications: Custom AOCs can be designed to meet specific industry standards, safety regulations, or environmental certifications required for niche applications or regulatory markets.

Special Features: This can include specific cable colors for easier identification, custom labeling, or the integration of unique monitoring features beyond standard digital diagnostics.
