Create short-reach 400GBASE links between QSFP112-equipped network ports with a fixed 1 m active optical assembly. The cable terminates in QSFP112 connectors at both ends, keeping the optical link and endpoint interfaces together in one assembly. Its NVIDIA-compatible designation targets installations using NVIDIA interface hardware where compatible cable coding is required. Use it for an adjacent switch, server, accelerator, or optical fabric connection when equipment layout calls for a one-metre interconnect. Active optical construction avoids a separate fiber patch lead and separate endpoint optic modules. The QSFP112-400GB-AOC-1M-NV-AO has a 1 m reach, so it suits tightly located equipment rather than cross-room cabling. This version pairs 400GBASE signaling with QSFP112-to-QSFP112 termination and NVIDIA compatibility. It also carries a TAA designation for environments that require that sourcing attribute. Verify port type, interface compatibility, and the required physical path length before selecting a fixed-length cable.
