FAQ About 200G AOC Cable
200G AOC cables deliver high density and speed, supporting next-generation Ethernet applications. With a reach of up to 100 meters, 200G AOCs are immune to electromagnetic interference and backward compatible with 100G systems, enabling flexible and scalable network setups.
200G AOC cables come in QSFP56 and QSFP-DD form factors. QSFP56 uses 50G per channel with PAM4 modulation across four channels, while QSFP-DD supports 25G per channel with NRZ modulation over eight channels, also suitable for 400G applications.
QSFP56 200G AOC cables can typically be used in QSFP-DD ports, and vice versa, but compatibility varies by equipment. Always verify device specifications to ensure seamless integration of 200G AOC cables with your network infrastructure.
The maximum transmission distance for 200G AOC cables is typically 100 meters using OM4 multi-mode fiber. Some configurations, like QSFP-DD to QSFP-DD, may support shorter ranges from 1 to 70 meters, depending on the 200G AOC model.
Installing a 200G AOC cable involves connecting it to compatible ports, such as QSFP56 to QSFP56, ensuring secure connections, and powering on devices. Follow manufacturer guidelines for proper 200G AOC cable setup and performance.
To troubleshoot 200G AOC cable issues, inspect for physical damage, verify secure connections, and confirm equipment compatibility. If problems persist, consult the 200G AOC manufacturer’s documentation or technical support for assistance.
200G AOC cables adhere to industry standards, with QSFP-DD models compliant with the QSFP-DD MSA and QSFP56 models meeting the QSFP MSA. These standards ensure interoperability and reliability for 200G AOC cables across various equipment.
200G AOC cables use fiber optics, support up to 100 meters, and consume 4-7W, while DAC cables use copper, are limited to 3-7 meters, and consume 0.1-1.5W. DACs are cheaper for short distances, but 200G AOC cables are more cost-effective for longer connections.
