The SOPO Technologies SPQSP4A-492 AOCxx is a Four-Channel, Pluggable, Parallel, Fiber-Optic QSFP+ Active Optical Cable (AOC) to 4×SFP+ Active Optical Cable break-out solution. This Breakout cable is intended for 40G to 4×10G applications. This AOC is a high performance cable for short-range multi-lane data communication and interconnect applications. It integrates four data lanes in each direction with 40Gbps aggregate bandwidth. Each lane can operate at 10.3125 Gbps. These cables also support 4 x 10G Infini-Band QDR applications and are backwards compatible to the 4×5G IB DDR and 4×2.5G IB single IB SDR applications. This product is leveraged from SOPO Technologies QSFP+ to QSFP+ Active Optical Cable product and SFP+ Active Optical Cable product. Where applicable, consult these respective datasheets. This AOC incorporates SOPO Technologies’ proven integrated circuit and VCSEL technology to provide reliable long life, high performance, and consistent service.
