Product Features
Technical Overview
This active optical cable operates at a data transfer rate of 10 Gbit/s, supporting high-bandwidth applications such as server connectivity, storage area networks (SAN), and backbone links. The SFP+ connectors are industry-standard, ensuring plug-and-play compatibility with SFP+ ports on switches, routers, and network interface cards (NICs).
The 7-meter (23 ft) length provides flexibility for short to medium-distance connections within racks or between adjacent equipment. Active Optical Technology (AOT) enables low-latency, error-free transmission by actively amplifying the optical signal, reducing the risk of data loss or degradation.
Key Product Advantages
This cable delivers several distinct benefits for network infrastructure deployments. Its active design ensures reliable performance in environments where signal integrity is critical, while the standardized connectors simplify integration into existing network setups.
High-Speed Connectivity
Supports 10 Gbit/s throughput for demanding applications like virtualization, video streaming, and large file transfers.
- Low-latency data transfer
- Ideal for backbone links
Enhanced Reliability
Active Optical Technology (AOT) minimizes signal loss and electromagnetic interference, providing stable connections in noisy environments.
- Reduced data errors
- Consistent performance over distance
Easy Deployment
The plug-and-play SFP+ connectors eliminate the need for separate transceivers, reducing installation time and complexity.
- Direct device compatibility
- Simplified cable management
Deployment / Use Cases
This cable is ideal for connecting network switches to servers in data centers, providing high-speed links for storage arrays, or establishing backbone connections between networking equipment. Its 23 ft length suits intra-rack or adjacent-rack deployments where flexibility is needed without excessive cable slack.
Common applications include linking top-of-rack switches to servers in virtualization clusters, connecting routers in network cores, or integrating with network-attached storage (NAS) systems. The orange color aids in quick identification during maintenance or troubleshooting, streamlining network operations.
Data Center Networking
Use for high-density server-to-switch connections where 10 Gbit/s bandwidth and reliable signal integrity are essential.
Enterprise Backbone
Deploy as a backbone cable between core switches or routers to support aggregated traffic from multiple network segments.

FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer rate of this Axiom active optical cable?
This cable supports a data transfer rate of 10 Gbit/s (10 gigabits per second), making it suitable for high-bandwidth networking applications such as server connectivity, storage networks, and backbone links that require fast, reliable data transmission.
What types of devices are compatible with this SFP+ active optical cable?
The cable is compatible with network devices, switches, and routers that feature SFP+ ports. It provides a direct connection between equipment with SFP+ interfaces, eliminating the need for separate optical transceivers and simplifying deployment in data center or enterprise environments.
How does Active Optical Technology (AOT) benefit network performance?
Active Optical Technology (AOT) converts electrical signals to optical signals within the cable, actively amplifying the signal to maintain integrity over distance. This reduces signal loss, minimizes electromagnetic interference, and ensures reliable, low-latency data transmission compared to passive copper cables, particularly in noisy environments.
What is the length of this Axiom fiber optic cable, and what deployment scenarios is it suited for?
The cable is 23 feet (7 meters) long, making it ideal for short to medium-distance connections such as within server racks, between adjacent racks in data centers, or for linking networking equipment in enterprise setups. This length provides flexibility without excessive cable management challenges.
