800G AEC Active Electrical Cable Overview

C-LIGHT 800G AEC active electrical cables are engineered for ultra-high-speed electrical interconnects in AI data centers, GPU clusters, high-performance computing platforms, and distributed rack architectures. The product integrates high-performance Retimer technology to condition high-speed electrical signals and support reliable 800Gbps transmission.

Unlike passive copper cables, the 800G AEC incorporates active signal processing to address signal integrity challenges associated with high-speed electrical links. Retiming, noise suppression, and equalization compensation help maintain signal quality across the supported cable lengths.

The 800G AEC also incorporates Gearbox technology with 400G/800G dual-rate auto-negotiation. This provides additional flexibility when connecting equipment operating at different supported rates within compatible network architectures.

C-LIGHT offers AEC configurations based on QSFP-DD, OSFP, and OSFP112 interfaces. The product family covers cable lengths from 0.5m to 5m, making it suitable for high-density connections between equipment positioned within the same or adjacent rack environments.
