PRODUCT PRESENTATION

This 400G QSFP-DD to 4x100G QSFP56 Active Optical Cable (AOC) is a high-density, four-way breakout solution, ideal for maximizing port density by segmenting a single 400G link into four separate 100G channels. It is engineered for seamless integration, complying with major standards including IEEE 802.3cd, QSFP-DD MSA, and SFF-8679. This versatile AOC facilitates high-throughput connectivity for essential data center architectures, supporting links from Switch to Switch and high-speed data transfer between Switch to GPU nodes in HPC clusters. It is a cost-effective alternative to multiple short-reach transceivers.

Notes: 1. QSFP-DD uses common ground (GND) for all signals and supply (power). All the common within the QSFP-DD module and all module voltages are referenced to this potential unless otherwise noted. Connected theses directly to the host board signal common ground plane.2. VCCRx, VCCRx1, VCC1, VCC2, VCCTx, and VCCTx1 shall be applied concurrently. Requirements defined for the host side of the Host Card Edge Connector are listed in Table 4. VCCRx, VCCRx1, VCC 1, VCC2, VCCTx, and VCCTx1 may be internally connected within the module in anycombination. The connector Vcc pins are each rated for a maximum current of 1000mA. 3. All Vendor Specific, Reserved and No Connect pins may be terminated with 50 ohms to ground on the host. Pad 65 (No Connect) shall be left unconnected within the module. Vendor Specific and Reserved pads shall have an impedance to GND that is greater than 10 kOhms and less than 100pF.

Notes: 1. GND is the symbol for signal and supply (power) common for the QSFP28 module. All are common within the module and all module voltages are referenced to this potential unless otherwise noted. Connect these directly to the host board signal common ground plane. 2. VccRx, Vcc1 and VccTx are the receiving and transmission power suppliers and shall be applied concurrently. Recommended host board power supply filtering is shown in Figure 2 below. Vcc Rx, Vcc1 and Vcc Tx may be internally connected within the module in any combination. The connector pins are each rated for a maximum current of 1000mA.
