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. QSFP + to 4x SFP + AOC cables are 40GBase QSFP + Breakout AOC cables. One end is QSFP + optical connector and the other end is 4 SFP + optical connectors. Transmission distance of 40GBase QSFP + Breakout AOC cables is not more than 100 meters. UnitekFiber is providing 10G, SFP+ AOC, 40G QSFP+ AOC, 56G QSFP+ AOC and 120G CXP AOC etc..

The 40G QSFP+ to 4x10G SFP+ Breakout Active Optical Cable (AOC) is a high-performance, cost-effective interconnect solution for migrating from 40G switches to 10G servers. Leveraging OM3/OM4 multimode fiber technology, this 5-meter breakout cable provides a plug-and-play alternative to transceivers and patch cords, ensuring zero latency issues and a lower power consumption profile (< 1.5W per 40G end).

The QSFP+ end integrates 4 independent channels, each operating at 10.3125Gbps. Our breakout AOC uses high-quality VCSEL (Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser) arrays at 850nm.
Congested Racks: Unlike bulky copper DACs, our 3.0mm diameter LSZH/OFNP jacket allows for tighter bends and better airflow in high-density TOR (Top of Rack) environments.
Compatibility Assurance: Each cable is coded in-house to be 100% compatible with Cisco, Juniper, H3C, Huawei, Alcatel, Allied Telesis, Zyxel, Brocade, Mikrotik, Extreme, Blade, D-linnk Netgear, Finisar, ZTE, Linksys, SMC, Ruijie, Avaya, 3com, Enterasys, Redeback, Planet etc. , preventing "Unrecognized Transceiver" errors during deployment.
As a veteran in fiber optics, I always tell clients: "Don't just look at the length; look at the EEPROM compatibility and power efficiency."

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.
Wonderful cables.
I have received the order, and your shipping time is out of expected. And the FTTH drop cable are functioning just as expected. we have always been satisfied with our equipment from you.
