With the development of AI supercomputing and DCI scenarios, AOC (Active Optical Cable) is the mainstream application. AOC integrates optical modules and optical cables to avoid the possibility of optical ports being contaminated to improve reliability. UnitekFiber as a professional AOC cable manufacturer provides customized a serial of AOC cables. We produce 25G/40G/100G AOC trunk cables, 40G-4*10G, 100G-4*25G breakout AOC cable.
Active optical cable (AOC) can be defined as an optical fiber jumper cable terminated with optical transceivers on both ends. Unlike traditional copper cables, which rely on electrical signals for data transmission, AOC cable utilize optical fibers to transmit data using light signals. These optical fibers are integrated into the optical cable assembly along with active components such as laser diodes, photodiodes, and control circuitry. The active components convert electrical signals into optical signals for transmission and then back to electrical signals at the receiving end. AOC is designed to provide a reliable and efficient solution for high-bandwidth connectivity in various applications, including data centers, networking infrastructure, and consumer electronics.
AOC cable comes in various form factors, such as SFP+, SFP28, QSFP+, QSFP28 and HDMI. UnitekFiber offers a series of customized AOC cable, such as AOC trunk canble, and Breakout AOC cable. These form factors cater to different connectivity requirements and are widely used in applications such as high-speed data networking, storage area networks (SANs), video streaming, and computer-to-monitor connections.

Traditional data center interconnection is mainly based on coaxial cables. AOC fiber cables have many significant advantages over interconnected copper cables. For example, the transmission power on the system link is lower, the weight is only a quarter of the directly connected copper cable, the volume is about half that of the copper cable, and it has better air flow and heat dissipation in the wiring system of the computer room. The fold radius is smaller than that of copper cables, and the transmission distance is longer (100 to 300 meters). The bit error rate of the product transmission performance is also better. Compared with the optical transceiver module, the AOC active optical cable has no exposed optical interface, does not need to consider the problems of pollution on the optical interface. Thus, it greatly improves system stability and reliability, and reduces maintenance costs in the equipment room.
