Description
The HPE Aruba Networking R9B52A is a high-performance 400G Active Optical Cable (AOC) that breaks out one QSFP-DD connector into four 100G QSFP56 connectors, enabling flexible and efficient data center or enterprise networking deployments. Designed for short-range connectivity of up to 15 meters, this AOC provides low-latency and low-power optical transmission while simplifying cabling and reducing clutter. Ideal for top-of-rack (ToR) or spine-leaf architecture, it offers reliable performance in high-density environments.
