UnitekFiber 10G SFP+ AOC active optical cable, its transmission rate is 10G, hot-swappable, working wavelength is 850 nm, all metal shell, has excellent EMI performance, and the transmission distance on OM3 MMF is up to 300 m.
The 10G SFP+ Active Optical Cable (AOC) is a high-speed, cost-effective alternative to 10G SFP+ transceivers and copper DACs. It combines SFP+ modules with OM3/OM4 multimode fiber in a single, factory-terminated assembly. Supporting data rates up to 10.3125Gbps at 850nm, this AOC cable provides lower power consumption (<1W per end) and superior EMI immunity, making it the ideal solution for Top-of-Rack (ToR) and server-to-switch clustering.

Unlike passive DACs that rely on the host switch to boost the signal, our 10G AOC features Active Clock and Data Recovery (CDR) (optional per spec) and high-quality VCSEL drivers. This ensures that even with low-power NICs (Network Interface Cards), the link remains stable without CRC errors.
With UnitekFiber’s precision alignment, we maintain a 3dB+ margin over standard requirements, significantly extending the lifespan of the optical components.
In a fully loaded 48-port switch, using copper DACs creates a "cable wall" that blocks exhaust air. Our 10G AOC uses high-flexibility OM3 fiber with a minimum bend radius of 30mm, allowing for clean routing in tight 1U spaces and improving overall rack cooling efficiency by up to 20%.
We often see clients struggling with 'link flapping' on Ubiquiti or Mikrotik switches when using generic cables. At UnitekFiber, each 10G AOC is hardware-tested on the actual target switch platforms. Our EEPROM coding ensures the switch sees the AOC as a 'Cisco-Compatible' or 'Vendor-Native' module, bypassing all firmware lockouts.

Active Optical Cables (AOC) are optical fiber cables with fiber optic transceivers installed at both ends. The main components are divided into two parts: optical circuit and circuit.
Yes. As a main transmission medium for high-performance computers and data centers, active optical cables(AOC) ensure the stability of transportation and flexibility of application, and are more common in high-density applications.
In laboratories and teaching centers, (AOC) active optical cables connect multiple machines to the host, which not only ensures high-speed data transmission but also ensures network security.
Both data centers and cloud computing systems require higher bandwidth and lower power. 10G SFP+ in AOC (active optical cables) can well connect devices (switches, routers) with high-speed optical communication ports.
Digital signage is a good place for AOC active optical cables to show their talents, which can support 1080p resolution in an outdoor HDMI environment.
AOC(Active optical) cables are more and more widely used in high-density data centers due to the advantages of long transmission distance, fast transmission rate and convenient use. UnitekFiber supplies various types of active optical cables with high stability and reliability.
Most 25G ports are backward compatible with 10G. However, you must manually configure the port speed to 10G Fixed in the switch OS to establish a link.
For distances under 100m, OM3 is sufficient for 10G. OM4 is only necessary if you plan to upgrade the same physical cable infrastructure to 40G or 100G in the future over longer distances.
I am extremely impressed with your products, fiber optic cable. My father would have loved buying these products from your company.
