FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer rate of this cable?
This Axiom Active Optical Cable supports a data transfer rate of 10 Gbit/s (10 gigabits per second), making it suitable for high-bandwidth applications such as data center interconnects, storage networks, and high-performance computing environments where fast, reliable data transmission is essential.
What type of connectors does this cable have on each end?
Both ends of the cable feature SFP+ Network - Male connectors. This symmetrical design provides direct compatibility with SFP+ ports on network switches, routers, servers, and other devices, enabling plug-and-play connectivity without requiring separate transceivers or adapters.
How does Active Optical Technology benefit network performance?
Active Optical Technology (AOT) converts electrical signals to optical signals within the cable, providing greater immunity to electromagnetic interference compared to copper cables. This results in more reliable signal transmission over the cable's 16.4 ft length, with reduced signal degradation and lower error rates in electrically noisy environments.
What is the cable length and how does it affect deployment?
The cable is 16.4 ft (5 meters) long, offering sufficient reach for typical rack-to-rack or within-rack deployments in data centers and server rooms. This length provides flexibility for connecting adjacent equipment while minimizing excess cable that requires management, making it practical for organized network installations.
