SKU CH-3N3P-8J4GH MPN AXG102635

400GBASE-AOC QSFP-DD active optical cable spans 3.28 ft for high-density switch and router links

  • 400 Gbps throughput for high-density switching
  • 100 % OEM-compatible code prevents network conflicts
  • 28 ft reach fits standard rack layouts
  • QSFP-DD connector matches modern router ports
  • MSA-compliant design works across multi-vendor fabrics

400GBASE-AOC QSFP-DD Active Optical Cable

The Axiom AXG102635 is a 400GBASE-AOC active optical cable built for high-density 400 Gb/s links between routers and switches. It targets network engineers who need a pre-coded, MSA-compliant assembly that drops straight into QSFP-DD ports without additional configuration.

QSFP-DD Connector Integration

The cable terminates in a single QSFP-DD connector on the first end, mating directly with compatible switch or router line cards. Its active optical construction removes the need for separate transceivers and patch cords, freeing rack space and reducing insertion-loss budgeting in the link design.

3.28 ft Reach and Headroom

At 3.28 ft the assembly suits adjacent-rack or intra-rack connections where longer copper DACs would exceed loss limits. It comfortably handles 400 Gb/s Ethernet or InfiniBand traffic; beyond this length a different cable or transceiver pair would be required.

Highlights

  • 400 Gbps throughput for high-density switching
  • 100 % OEM-compatible code prevents network conflicts
  • 28 ft reach fits standard rack layouts
  • QSFP-DD connector matches modern router ports
  • MSA-compliant design works across multi-vendor fabrics

Questions about this item

What throughput does this 400GBASE-AOC cable sustain before signal integrity limits the link?

The cable is rated for 400 Gb/s operation, so the throughput limit under sustained use is the 400 Gb/s line rate itself.

How much heat or power does the QSFP-DD active optical cable add when running continuously in a switch?

Active optical cables draw modest power from the QSFP-DD ports for the optical engines, producing minimal additional heat compared with copper alternatives.

Which QSFP-DD ports must my switch or router already provide for this 1 M AOC to function?

You need two QSFP-DD receptacles — one at each end — that accept 400GBASE-AOC modules compliant with the multi-sourcing agreement.
