QSFP+ active optic cable(AOC) is an optical fiber cable with optical transceivers at both ends. It consists of two parts: optical path and circuit. Active optical cable, as a main transmission medium for high-performance computers and data centers, guarantees the stability of transportation and the flexibility of applications. It should often be used in high-density communication projects. UnitekFiber is providing 10G, SFP+ AOC, 40G QSFP+ AOC, 56G QSFP+ AOC and 120G CXP AOC etc..

In a 40G environment, choosing between an AOC and a Transceiver+Jumper combination is about balancing simplicity and cost. For short-reach 3m links, the Unitekfiber 40G AOC removes the risk of link-loss caused by contaminated connectors.
Application Tip: Ensure your switch ports are configured for 40G (non-breakout mode) to maintain a stable 4x10G parallel link over the OM2 media.

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.
Very good service and quality.
The fiber cable was very easy to pull both indoor & outdoor. It's not stiff, went thru conduits nicely.
