1m (3ft) NVIDIA (InfiniBand) Compatible 400G QSFP-DD Active Optical Cable
The 400G NVIDIA (InfiniBand) QSFP-DD active optical cables are designed for use in 400 Gigabit Ethernet links over OM4 multimode fibers, and contain eight multi-mode fibers (MMF) optic transceivers per end, each operating at data rates of up to 53Gb/s. This active optical cable is compliant with IEEE 802.3cd, OIF-CEI-04.0, QSFP-DD MSA, and QSFP-DD-CMIS-rev4p0. Thin and lightweight AOC cables simplify cable management, enabling an efficient system airflow, which is critical in high-density racks. It is used extensively in cloud and supercomputers due to its low cost, high-value proposition, and increased reliability.

Q:

What is the difference between HDR and NDR InfiniBand cables?

by x***m on 2025-07-10 09:34:26

A:

HDR (High Data Rate) supports up to 200Gb/s per port, while NDR (Next Data Rate) can handle 400Gb/s. Both are used for high-performance computing, but NDR is designed for newer-generation systems requiring ultra-high bandwidth.
