Frequently Asked Questions
What is a 400GBASE active optical cable used for?
A 400GBASE-AOC cable is used to connect high-speed networking equipment such as data center switches, routers, and servers. It enables 400 Gigabit per second connectivity over distances up to 5 meters, making it ideal for intra-data center and rack-to-rack interconnects.
Is the Axiom 400GBASE-AOC QSFP-DD cable TAA compliant?
Yes, this active optical cable is TAA-compliant, meeting Trade Agreements Act requirements for government and regulated procurement. It qualifies for federal purchasing programs and restricted supply chain environments.
How does an active optical cable differ from passive copper cables?
Active optical cables use integrated electronics to amplify and condition signals, allowing longer distances (5M+) with superior signal integrity compared to passive copper alternatives. They consume minimal power and generate less heat, making them ideal for dense data center deployments.
Can I use this 400GBASE-AOC cable with existing network equipment?
The Axiom 400GBASE-AOC QSFP-DD cable is backward compatible with standard 400G infrastructure supporting QSFP-DD connectors. Verify your equipment specifications before deployment to ensure compatibility.
