Active Optical Cables (AOC)

High-Speed Fiber Interconnects for Long-Reach, Low-Latency Data Center Links

Active Optical Cables (AOCs) are high-speed fiber cable assemblies that integrate active transceivers at both ends, enabling reliable data transmission over longer distances than copper alternatives. Designed for modern data center, enterprise, and high-performance computing (HPC) environments, AOCs offer low latency, superior EMI immunity, and lower power consumption compared to traditional transceivers and patch cords.

Available in various form factors—including SFP+, SFP28, QSFP+, QSFP28, and QSFP-DD—AOCs support bandwidths from 10G up to 400G, making them ideal for switch-to-switch, server-to-switch, and other high-speed interconnects across racks and zones.

Choose AOCs for simplified cabling, plug-and-play deployment, and scalable performance in high-density network architectures.
