Cabling Solution for Active Optical Cable

Why We Need Active Optical Cable

5G network has driven the rapid application of the Internet and smart devices in an explosive growth of data volume. More and more high-performance supercomputing centers (HPC) and data centers were deployed, which need high-speed routers, supercomputing, and storage as the core. With the advantages of high speed, high density, and low power consumption, Active Optical Cable or Active Optical Cables (AOC, WiKi: what is an AOC cable?) are widely used in the most cost-effective way. Key2Optics supplies all types of active optical cables (AOC) products, including 10G SFP+AOC, 25G SFP28+AOC, 40G QSFP+AOC, 100G QSFP28+AOC, 40G QSFP+4SFP+AOC, 100G QSFP28+4SFP28+AOC, 40G QSFP+8LC AOC. Our active optical cables support customized hardware in both Twinax AOC and Breakout AOC forms.

Advantages and Applications

High-speed Interconnects Technology in Optics

Active Optical Cable (AOC) is one of the best solutions for higher bandwidth but lower power in data centers. Especially for high-speed interconnects technology. Compared with the optical modules (SFP Module, Optical Transceivers), which need a clean optical cable interface to be connected in. An active optical cable (AOC) does not have the problem of that, which greatly improves stability and reliability. The cost for maintenance is lower, even if its cost is lower than the optical transceiver hardware solution (two modules plus one fiber patch cord).

In a data center, network devices with various speed optic ports need to be connected together through cables. What is the best way for so many interconnects requirements? For example, 10G SFP+ ports to 40G QSFP+ ports devices. A breakout cable for QSFP+ to 4 x SFP+ becomes a best choice to achieve and solve the interconnection requirement.

Customizable length: We will customize the reasonable length for active optical cables which meets the exact distance of your interconnection. Save more cost, and make the cabling more organized.

Key2optics is committed to providing stable and reliable active optical cables and optical modules since 2009. With strict quality control and inspection process, we promise the product performance and compatibility with the most popular brands in the market: Cisco Switch, Finisar, Infiniband cables, Mellanox, etc.
