The 400G QSFP-DD to 4 x 100G QSFP56 Active Optical Breakout AOC connects QSFP-DD to 4x QSFP56 ports at 400Gbps over OM3 fiber at 850nm. Because the optics are built into the cable ends, installation is plug and play with no separate transceivers to manage, and airflow inside the rack stays unobstructed. It is well suited to 400G Ethernet, data center interconnect and 5G transport networks. Cable length: Customized.

In 400G Ethernet, data center interconnect and 5G transport networks, the 400G QSFP-DD to 4 x 100G QSFP56 Active Optical Breakout AOC provides a factory terminated 400Gbps link between QSFP-DD to 4x QSFP56 ports. Ordered in customized lengths, it matches the actual rack geometry without slack. By fanning one port out to 4x QSFP56, it doubles or quadruples the number of endpoints served per switch port and keeps the cabling plant simple. Custom labeling, packaging and compatibility coding for specific equipment vendors are available from our factory on request. The link runs QSFP-DD-8x 50G-PAM4 QSFP56-2x 50G-PAM4 modulation, which keeps it aligned with current 400G switch silicon.
Compliance: IEEE 802.3cd, OIF-CEI-04.0, QSFP-DD MSA, QSFP-DD-CMIS-Rev4.0, SFF-8024, IEEE 802.3bs Annex120E. Every unit's EEPROM coding and link behavior are verified on real host equipment in our lab, so what arrives at your site is ready to use.
This cable is built to order in customized lengths. Our part number QDD-400G-4QAOxxx identifies the configuration. When placing an order, tell us the length you need and any label or packaging requirements. Volume pricing is available for project quantities.
Most orders travel by international express and arrive within days; palletized freight by air or sea is used for volume orders. If you prefer, we ship on your DHL, UPS or FedEx account, or deliver to your appointed agent in China for onward consolidation.
Production samples and every outgoing batch pass through bit-error-rate measurement, temperature verification and plug-in compatibility checks on mainstream switches and routers. Because we are the manufacturer, any issue found in testing is fed back to the production line immediately instead of being passed on to customers.
Standard packing is an anti-static bag plus blister protection, with cartons sized to keep products from moving in transit. We apply our standard labels by default; neutral packing or customer-branded labels, part number stickers and serial barcodes are all available on request.
Our product line has grown with the industry for three decades, from GBIC-era modules to today's 800G and 1.6T interconnects. If the exact configuration you need is not listed, we can usually build it: custom lengths, mixed connector breakouts, OEM branding and project-specific firmware coding are all supported.
