OSFP Active Optical Cables (AOCs) are high-speed interconnects for data centers, supporting up to 800 Gbps. Using the OSFP form factor, they offer low power, high signal integrity, and longer reach than copper, making them ideal for AI, HPC, and cloud networking. Our active optical cable assembly portfolio provides improved cable flexibility and longer reach as compared to both traditional passive copper and emerging active copper (ACC/AEC) solutions, supporting high performance computing, data center and networking interconnect applications. AOCs have transceivers at both ends of the cable that convert electrical to optical signals and vice versa. Each channel operates with PAM4 modulati on scheme at 53. 125G baud rate, and up to 60m using OM3 fiber or 100m using OM4 fiber. AppSel=1 is the. The NVIDIA/Mellanox is an 800Gb/s OSFP to 800Gb/s OSFP InfiniBand NDR Active Optical Cable.
