200G QSFP56 AOC Overview

The 200G QSFP56 AOC category contains the Q200-Q200-A, a straight-through active optical cable designed for 200Gb/s InfiniBand HDR systems. It uses QSFP56 interfaces at both ends to provide a direct 200G optical connection between compatible QSFP56 ports. Available in lengths from 1m to 100m, the integrated cable assembly supports high-density data center interconnects while increasing port bandwidth and configurability and reducing data center power consumption.

FAQ

How does the Q200-Q200-A carry a full 200Gb/s connection between two compatible QSFP56 ports?

It provides one straight-through 200Gb/s link. The Q200-Q200-A uses QSFP56 interfaces at both ends and carries the connection over four 50Gb/s PAM4 lanes, preserving a single end-to-end 200G path.

Is the Q200-Q200-A designed for 200Gb/s InfiniBand HDR links between compatible networking devices?

Yes. The Q200-Q200-A is designed for 200Gb/s InfiniBand HDR end-to-end systems and connects compatible QSFP56 ports on supported networking equipment.

What cable-length range is available for the Q200-Q200-A in data center deployments?

From 1m to 100m. Each Q200-Q200-A is supplied as a fixed-length integrated cable assembly, so the required installed length should match the planned routing distance.

Can the Q200-Q200-A split one 200G QSFP56 port into multiple lower-speed connections?

No. The Q200-Q200-A is a straight-through QSFP56-to-QSFP56 AOC. It maintains one 200Gb/s connection and does not provide 1-to-2 or 1-to-4 breakout branches.

Does the Q200-Q200-A require separate optical transceiver modules and detachable fiber patch cords?

No. The Q200-Q200-A integrates the QSFP56 optical ends and fiber cable into one complete assembly, so separate pluggable transceivers and detachable fiber patch cords are not required.

What minimum bend radius should be maintained when routing the Q200-Q200-A through racks or cable-management paths?

30mm. The Q200-Q200-A specifies a 30mm minimum bend radius, so rack routing and cable-management paths should not force the cable into a tighter curve.
