 InfiniBand Active Optical Cable (AOC)

Technical Description for InfiniBand Active Optical Cable

• Protocol Optimization: Unlike Ethernet AOCs, these are specifically tested for InfiniBand bit-error rates (BER) and latency standards.
• Integrated Design: They feature factory-terminated transceiver ends (e.g., QSFP56, OSFP) with integrated optical engines that convert electrical signals to light.
• Media: Typically utilize multimode fiber (OM3/OM4) to support lengths up to 100 meters.
• Power Efficiency: Optimized for the thermal profiles of InfiniBand switches, often featuring advanced heat dissipation in OSFP form factors for 400G and 800G.

Key Applications for InfiniBand Active Optical Cable

• AI & Machine Learning Clusters: Interconnecting GPU servers (like NVIDIA DGX systems) to InfiniBand switches for massive data parallelization.
• Supercomputing (HPC): Linking thousands of compute nodes with minimal latency to maintain processing efficiency.
• Leaf-Spine Architectures: Connecting different levels of the InfiniBand fabric across rows in a data center.
