AI & HPC FAQ

01What optical speeds are used in AI networks?

Depending on the architecture, AI networks can use 100G, 200G, 400G, 800G and emerging 1.6T connectivity.

02Why do AI networks require high-speed optics?

Distributed AI workloads create substantial traffic between GPUs, servers, switches and storage systems, increasing the need for high-bandwidth network fabrics.

03What is east-west traffic?

East-west traffic refers to communication between systems inside the infrastructure, such as GPU servers, switches and storage.

04What is the role of AEC and ACC in AI networks?

AEC and ACC are active electrical interconnect technologies designed for high-speed applications where passive copper may not provide the desired reach or signal performance.

05When should I use optical transceivers instead of DAC or AEC?

The decision depends on bandwidth, link distance, power, topology, equipment compatibility and deployment requirements.
