Product Features
Technical Overview
This cable operates on the 10GBASE-AOC standard, which specifies active optical cabling for 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications. The SFP+ connectors on both ends facilitate hot-pluggable connectivity, allowing for easy installation and maintenance without network downtime. The fiber optic construction ensures immunity to electromagnetic interference, reducing data errors and maintaining consistent performance across the full 23 ft length.
Active Optical Technology (AOT) integrates optical transceivers directly into the cable assembly, eliminating the need for separate SFP+ modules and simplifying deployment. This integrated approach enhances signal quality and reduces power consumption compared to passive copper solutions, while supporting data rates up to 10 Gbps with low latency.
