Advantages of 10G SFP+ AOC active Optical Cable in data Center Interconnection solution

AOC active optical cable has the characteristics of low power consumption, small size, light weight and strong heat dissipation. Compared with copper cable, it has longer transmission distance and better transmission performance. Compared with the optical fiber module, the active optical cable does not have the problem of interface pollution, which greatly improves the stability and reliability of the system, and reduces the management cost of the computer room. Therefore, 10G SFP+ AOC active optical cable is explained in this paper.

Product description

10G SFP+ active optical cable is a directly connected optical fiber assembly with SFP+ connectors. They are suitable for short-distance scenarios and provide a cost-effective way to connect within racks and across adjacent racks. On OM3 MMF, the longest length of SFP+ active optical cable is 300m.

Product characteristics

◆ electrical interface conforms to SFF-8431 protocol

◆ supports hot-swappable

◆ 850nm VCSEL laser and PIN receiver

◆ operating temperature: 0 °C ~ 70 °C

◆ has a metal shell with EMI anti-electromagnetic interference

◆ complies with ROHS certification

Application field

◆ 10 Gigabit Ethernet

◆ 4G and 8G fibre Channel applications

◆ 1 InfiniBand QDR,DDR,SDR

◆ high performance computing cluster

◆ server, switch, storage and host card adapter

Application scenarios:

The easy-to-sky ETU-LINK 10G SFP+ AOC supports link lengths up to 100m and is a low-cost solution to replace optical modules, usually used for switch-to-switch connections.

All in all, 10G SFP+ AOC is a very cost-effective 10G SFP+ cable solution. If you need to connect two 10 Gigabit switches in 10G network construction, and the link length is less than 100m, then 10G SFP+ AOC active cable is recommended.
