200G Active Optical Cable (AOC) QSFP56 to QSFP56 OM3 Cable

SVNK 200G QSFP56 Active Optical Cable (AOC)

The SVNK 200G QSFP56 Active Optical Cable (AOC) is a high-performance optical interconnect solution engineered for 200Gb/s Ethernet and InfiniBand HDR applications. Built on advanced VCSEL-based optical technology, this AOC delivers high bandwidth, low latency, and excellent signal integrity for next-generation data centers, high-performance computing (HPC), and AI/ML infrastructures.

The cable integrates QSFP56 optical transceivers on both ends, providing a factory-terminated, plug-and-play solution that eliminates the need for separate optical modules and patch cords. Each end incorporates four parallel multimode optical channels, with each lane operating at up to 50 Gb/s using PAM4 modulation (4 × 50G PAM4) to achieve an aggregate data rate of 200 Gb/s.

Compared to passive copper solutions, SVNK 200G QSFP56 AOCs offer significantly longer reach, lighter weight, improved airflow, complete EMI immunity, and higher port density, making them ideal for dense rack architectures and high-speed interconnects.

With an integrated 200G PAM4 DSP, precision optical alignment, and high-performance 850 nm VCSEL arrays, SVNK AOCs deliver stable transmission, low bit-error rates, and consistent performance across demanding short-reach environments.
