Frequently Asked Questions
What is a 400GBASE active optical cable used for?
A 400GBASE active optical cable is designed for high-speed data center interconnects, providing 400 Gb/s connectivity between switches, servers, and storage systems. It's ideal for short-reach applications within data centers where maximum bandwidth and low latency are critical.
What is the difference between OM3 and OM4 multimode fiber?
OM3 and OM4 are multimode fiber standards with different bandwidth capabilities. OM4 offers higher bandwidth and longer reach than OM3. The ENET QDD-400G-AOC-7M-ENC supports both, providing flexibility in deployment scenarios while maintaining 400 Gb/s performance.
Is the QSFP-DD connector hot-pluggable?
Yes, QSFP-DD connectors are hot-pluggable, allowing you to safely connect and disconnect the active optical cable without powering down your equipment. This makes maintenance and upgrades seamless in production environments.
What are the advantages of active optical cables over passive cables?
Active optical cables provide superior signal integrity, extended reach, and better performance over longer distances compared to passive alternatives. They're ideal for demanding data center applications requiring reliable 400 Gb/s connectivity.
