Cabling Guide ③ | 800G/200G: Server-Switch Point-to-Point MPO Connection Introduction

800G and 200G – Server to Switch Applications

Using Point-to-Point Cabling to Connect MPO-8/12 APC to MPO-8/12 APC

This scenario is suitable for point-to-point cabling. 400G optical modules support 200G transmission by using MPO-8/APC to 2*MPO-4/APC fiber conversion patch cords. A 1×2 MPO-8/APC multimode fiber patch cord can activate two of the four internal lanes of the 400G optical module (i.e., 4 fibers out of the 8 fibers), thereby enabling the 400G optical module to operate equivalently as a 200G device.
