What is AOC Active Optical Cable
What is AOC？
AOC :Active Optical Cable, the main components of the active optical cable are divided into two parts: the optical path and the circuit. The optical path part includes the lens and FA for converting the optical path angle; the circuit part includes the PCB board, the substrate, the VCSEL chip, the VCSEL driver chip, the PD chip and the TIA chip. As a main transmission medium for high-performance computers and data centers, active optical cables ensure the stability of transportation and application flexibility, and are common in high-density applications.
Here introduce two types Active Optical Cable:
1. 40G QSFP+to 4X10G SFP+AOC
2. 40G QSFP+ AOC
Product features:
Electrical Interface Compatible with QSFP+ Connectors (Set Trigger - 8436) and SFP+ Connectors (Set Trigger - 8431)
. Hot-swappable
.850nm VCSEL Transmitter, PIN Laser Detector
.OM3 MMF up to 100m
Working temperature: 0 - 70°C
. Full metal housing with superior EMI performance
. Meet RoHS6 (lead-free)
Active Optical Cable advantages:
1: Greater bandwidth: don’t need device to update, throughput up to 40Gbps.
2: Weight is light, easy to delivery
3: Low electromagnetic interference: Since the optical fiber is a dielectric, it is not susceptible to electromagnetic interference.
