The 400G QSFP-DD Hybrid VR8-AOC from FIBERSTAMP harnesses our patented Hybrid Active Optical Cable (Hybrid AOC) technology, delivering a next-generation interconnect solution that outperforms traditional DSP-centric active optical cables in power, latency, and cost efficiency.
By applying DSP to only half of the optical channels and combining industry-proven LPO/LRO design concepts with advanced system-level signal alignment, the Hybrid architecture achieves an ideal balance between energy efficiency, performance, and deployment flexibility:
HYBRID = (LTO + LRO) / 2
Key Benefits
- Ultra-Low Power Consumption: ~6.6 W, ~20%–25% lower than traditional 400G AOCs.
- Extended Reach: Up to 30 m on OM3 and 50 m on OM4 multimode fiber (with KP4-FEC), ideal for high-density data center links.
- Reduced Latency: Nearly 50% lower link latency versus conventional DSP-based AOCs.
- Superior Signal Integrity: Designed for pre-FEC BER of E-7/E-8 on OM4 50 m links, ensuring reliable high-speed performance.
- Cost-Effective Scaling: Enhanced design yields significant overall cost savings compared to conventional solutions.
The Hybrid VR8-AOC is optimized for high-density 400G data center interconnects, offering a practical upgrade path from conventional 400G active optical cables. Its innovative architecture achieves a superior balance of transmission performance, power efficiency, and implementation cost, enabling efficient and scalable network deployments without compromising reliability.
