Product Features
Technical Overview
This active optical cable operates on the 10GBASE-AOC standard, providing full-duplex 10 Gigabit Ethernet throughput. The fiber optic core enables data transmission with minimal electromagnetic interference, while the integrated active components boost signal strength for consistent performance across the 9.8-foot span.
The cable terminates with SFP+ network connectors on both ends, with one end specifically detailed as 1 x SFP+ Network. This configuration supports direct attachment to SFP+ ports on switches, routers, and network interface cards, eliminating the need for separate transceivers and simplifying deployment.
Key Product Advantages
The Axiom Active Optical Cable combines the benefits of fiber optics with integrated active electronics to deliver superior performance in compact network deployments. Active Optical Technology ensures signal integrity over the cable length without degradation, making it more reliable than passive copper alternatives for 10GbE applications.
Enhanced Signal Integrity
Active components maintain signal strength across the entire 9.8-foot length, reducing bit error rates and ensuring consistent 10 Gbps throughput.
- Minimal signal attenuation
- Stable data transmission
- Reduced latency
Simplified Connectivity
Pre-terminated SFP+ connectors eliminate the need for separate transceivers, reducing deployment complexity and potential points of failure.
- Direct attachment to SFP+ ports
- No additional transceivers required
- Plug-and-play installation
Deployment / Use Cases
This cable is engineered for data center and enterprise network environments where reliable 10GbE connections are critical. Its 9.8-foot length makes it suitable for rack-to-rack connections within server cabinets or between adjacent networking equipment in controlled environments.
Common deployment scenarios include connecting top-of-rack switches to servers, linking aggregation switches in network closets, or establishing interconnects between routers and core switches. The fiber optic construction provides immunity to electromagnetic interference, making it suitable for installations near power cables or in electrically noisy environments where copper cables might experience performance issues.
Data Center Interconnects
Ideal for short-reach connections between servers and switches within server racks, supporting high-density 10GbE deployments.
Network Infrastructure Links
Suitable for connecting routers, switches, and other network devices in enterprise networking environments requiring stable 10GbE performance.
