SkyOptics Unveils 200G QSFP56 to 2x100G Active Optical Cable for High-Speed Data Centers

SHENZHEN, CHINA – August 29, 2025 – ShenZhen Sky Optics Technology Co., LTD (SkyOptics), a leader in optical communications, today announced the launch of its new 200G QSFP56 to 2x100G QSFP56 Active Optical Cable (AOC). This innovative breakout cable is designed to provide a highly efficient and cost-effective solution for expanding network capacity in next-generation data centers, cloud computing, and high-performance computing (HPC) environments.

The new QSFP56 AOC allows network administrators to split a single 200G port into two independent 100G links. This breakout capability is essential for connecting top-of-rack switches and servers, maximizing port utilization, and simplifying network architectures. The cable features a low-power 3.3V design, ensuring energy efficiency without compromising performance. As an active optical cable, it offers superior reach and signal integrity over traditional copper alternatives, making it ideal for interconnects within and between racks.

"Our new 200G breakout cable is a game-changer for data center operators looking to scale their infrastructure to meet the demands of AI and machine learning workloads," said Mr. Jacky Lee, VP of Distribution Sales at SkyOptics. "It provides the flexibility and performance needed to migrate from 100G to 200G networks seamlessly while leveraging existing 100G equipment. This product embodies our commitment to delivering smart, efficient, and future-proof solutions."

The plug-to-plug cable is easy to install, offering a reliable, pre-terminated solution that reduces deployment time and potential for error. Every unit is manufactured at SkyOptics' state-of-the-art facility and undergoes rigorous testing to guarantee robust performance and 100% compatibility. This new product further enhances SkyOptics' extensive portfolio of data center solutions, which includes optical transceivers, passive components, and DAC/AOC cables up to 800G.
