From the outset, the term Active Optical Cable refers to fiber-optical cables in which the optical conversion & signal conditioning are built into the cable ends. In contrast, passive cables do not have such electronics. Since the AOC is hot plugga ectrical side towards the host system. It contains four multi-mode fibers (MMF) optic. The 200G QSFP56 active optical cable is designed for use in 200 Gigabit Ethernet links over OM3 multimode fiber, it contains four multi-mode fibers(MMF) optic transceivers per end, each operating at data rates of up to 50Gb/s. 3, SFF-8665. 200G AOC cables come in QSFP56 and QSFP-DD form factors. QSFP56 uses 50G per channel with PAM4 modulation across four channels, while QSFP-DD supports 25G per channel with NRZ modulation over eight channels, also suitable for 400G applications.
