The C-LIGHT CLQD8-QD8AOC is an 800G Active Optical Cable (AOC) in QSFP-DD form factor, designed for hyperscale data centers and high-performance computing (HPC). Utilizing multi-mode fiber (MMF OM3) and 850nm VCSEL technology, it enables 1~30m short-reach, high-speed connectivity between servers, switches, and GPU clusters. With commercial-grade temperature tolerance (0°C to 70°C) and modular design, it delivers high-density, low-power interconnect solutions for next-gen data centers.
●Core Technical Advantages
