Active Optical Cable is a type of data cable that designed for connections in networking setups. The 100G active optic cable comes with a 100G QSFP28 transceiver modules on both ends, allowing them to be directly plugged into compatible network ports without requiring additional optical transceiver. The AOC cable provides a cost-effective alternative to discrete optical transceivers module and fiber optic patch cords. AOC active optical cables are primarily used to interconnect switches, servers, and storage units in different racks within a data center, and is often be used in high-density communication projects. Active optical cables simplify cable management by providing a lightweight, thin alternative fiber cable.
UnitekFiber provides 100G QSFP28 AOC cable that is hot-pluggable QSFP28 MSA and RoHS-6 compliant, ensuring compatibility and compliance with environmental regulations. By a competitive way of alternative to discrete optical transceivers and fiber patch cords, our 100G active optical cable are ideal for establishing 100Gbps connections between racks and adjacent racks.
100G QSFP28 AOC cables include 100G QSFP28-QSFP28 AOC cable, 100G QSFP28-2*50G QSFP28 AOC cable and QSFP28-4*25G SFP28 AOC cable. The length of 100G QSFP28-QSFP28 AOC fiber optic cable could be 1-100 meters, the length of 100G QSFP28 to 2*50G active optic cable can reach 1-70 meters and the maximum transmission distance of QSFP28-4*25G SFP28 AOCs with OM3 fiber is up to 70 meters; The 100G active optic cable is mainly used for interconnecting servers, storage, switches and other devices.
100G AOC cables are simplify the network setup process, reducing complexity and streamlining connection configuration. The AOC cable simplicity means easier installation, maintenance and upgrades, enhancing the overall agility of the network infrastructure. 100G QSFP28 AOC cables provide reliable, robust connections that ensure consistent data transfer and network performance. The durable construction and direct-connect design help improve the stability of network connections and minimize the risk of signal loss or interruption. The lighter, thinner AOC cables avoid restriction in organization and storage.
Active optical cables (AOC) are cables with optic transceiver modules in the connector heads that convert electrical signals to light. Unlike passive copper cables, which send electronic signals directly down the internal copper wire, AOC involve additional signal conversions.
DACs use copper-based cabling while AOCs use fiber-based cabling. DACs are mostly used for Top of Rack while AOCs are used for both Top of Rack and Middle of Row configurations.
UnitekFiber's AOC cables are designed for data rates including 10Gb/s, 25Gb/s, 40Gb/s, 100Gb/s and 200Gb/s, which accelerate storage, data, and high-performance computing connectivity.
AOC active optical cable has such characteristics as low power consumption, small size, light weight and strong heat dissipation. Compared with copper cables, its transmission distance (up to 100~200meters) is longer with better transmission performance.
Before shipping, we have professional QC,and we will test the item strictly.
This product do a well work on the data center, absolutely save the space, save the installation time and could be manage the cable better than before. Highly recommended.
This AOC cable has greatly improved our network efficiency.
Our data center was in dire need of a more efficient cabling solution, and the active optical cable delivered exactly that.
Seems to be well constructed , works perfectly as expected.
The AOC cable have simplified our cable management and reduced the time required for installation and maintenance.
