Description
The AddOn Q400G-4Q56G-AOC35M-AO is a high-performance, MSA and TAA compliant 400GBase active optical cable designed to deliver reliable, high-speed connectivity between network switches, servers, storage systems, and NIC adapters in modern data centers. This QSFP-DD to 4xQSFP56 PAM4 breakout AOC operates over multi-mode fiber (MMF) with an 850nm wavelength and a maximum reach of 35 meters, ensuring low-latency, high-bandwidth data transmission.
Featuring DSP-free electronics-based CDR, PAM4 modulation, and support for multi-data rates up to 56.15 Gb/s per lane, this cable ensures optimal performance and interoperability. With low power consumption (7.6W on the 400G end and 2.3W on the 100G ends), hot-pluggable design, LSZH-rated aqua jacket, and compliance with IEEE 802.3cm and CMIS 4.0 standards, it offers a robust solution for high-density, high-speed networking environments. Each unit is uniquely serialized, programmed, and rigorously tested for full MSA compliance and functionality, and is backed by AddOn’s limited lifetime warranty.
