QSFP-200GB-AOC3M-AO – 200G QSFP56 Active Optical Cable 3M
The Addon QSFP-200GB-AOC3M-AO is a 3-meter, 200G QSFP56 Active Optical Cable (AOC) designed for ultra-high-speed interconnects in modern data centers and enterprise switching environments. Engineered for compatibility with a wide range of OEM platforms, this TAA-compliant AOC supports 200Gbps full-duplex transmission over 850nm multimode fiber (MMF). Ideal for short-reach, high-bandwidth connectivity between network switches, routers, or servers, it delivers seamless integration and excellent signal integrity without the power and cooling demands of transceivers.
Features
Operating over multimode fiber, the Addon QSFP-200GB-AOC3M-AO simplifies high-speed 200G connections between QSFP56 ports across a 3-meter reach. It eliminates the need for separate transceivers by integrating the optical and electronic components into a single active assembly. This significantly reduces insertion loss, latency, and energy consumption while offering superior cost-effectiveness compared to transceiver plus fiber solutions. Ideal for TOR (Top of Rack), EOR (End of Row), and switch-to-switch applications, this cable provides fast, secure communication within racks or adjacent rows. Addon ensures 100% OEM compatibility and factory testing, providing IT professionals with confidence in their infrastructure deployments.
Advanced Options
With plug-and-play functionality, the cable enables fast deployment and reduced latency, making it an excellent solution for high-density environments where airflow and space optimization are essential. It’s built for enterprise-grade durability and long-term performance in mission-critical IT infrastructures.
