40G QSFP+ AOC cable consists of 2*QSFP+ fiber transceiver modules that are directly connected to the fiber optic cable. 40G QSFP+ active optic cable is designed for 40 Gigabit Ethernet applications. Adopting optical fiber technology, AOC cable could transmit longer distances up to 200 meters. 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. 40G AOC cables provide a QSFP+ to QSFP+ provide a cost-effective solution for long-distance interconnect applications in data centers.
The 40G QSFP+ AOC cable is a four-channel, hot-pluggable, and the QSFP+ optical module that connects directly to the switch and is suitable for 40G Ethernet, Infiniband FDR/EDR applications. Each channel of 40G QSFP+ AOC cable can transmit data at a rate of up to 10Gb/s, providing an aggregate rate of 100Gb/s. The AOC cable are used in short-distance multi-channel data communications and interconnect applications. The transmission distance of active optical cable using OM3 optical fiber can reach 70 meters, and the transmission distance using OM4 optical fiber can reach to 100 meters.
AOC cable is to provide cost-effective networking solutions for long distance connections. As an alternative to optical transceivers and fiber optic cabling, AOC cables offer comparable performance at a lower cost, making them an economical choice for high-speed data transmission in limited network space. Since there is no need to convert data between optical cables and optical modules, the integrity of data transmission can be ensured and better low loss can be achieved, even for long-distance transmission. Active optical cable can also be used in environments with higher Electromagnetic Interference (EMI), as the signal is transmitted via light versus electrically.
AOC active fiber optic cable are fully applicable to Infiniband interconnection application,and comply with Ethernet IEEE 802.3ba. In the field of high-density data centers and cloud computing systems, the AOC cables are mainly used for interconnection between servers and switches. UnitekFiber provide customized service for the common AOC cables in the market, such as 10G SFP+, 25G SFP28, 40G QSFP+, 100G QSFP28 and other AOC active optical cables with different transmission rates, and different length. Please contact sales@unitekfiber.com for more AOC cable details.
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.
