Description
The AddOn Q400G-4Q56G-AOC2M-AO is a high-performance, MSA and TAA compliant 400GBase active optical cable designed for data center, enterprise, and high-speed networking environments. This QSFP-DD to 4xQSFP56 breakout cable operates over multi-mode fiber (MMF) with a maximum reach of 2 meters, supporting PAM4 modulation and data rates up to 56.15 Gb/s per lane. Engineered for superior performance, it features low latency DSP-free electronics-based CDR, low power consumption (7.6W on the 400G end, 2.3W on the 100G ends), and hot-pluggable connectivity. The cable is CMIS 4.0 compliant, IEEE 802.3cm compatible, and RoHS lead-free. Ideal for connecting switches, servers, storage systems, and NIC adapters in high-bandwidth 400G Ethernet deployments, it comes backed by AddOn’s limited lifetime warranty.
