Product Features
Technical Overview
This active optical cable integrates SFP+ connectors on both ends, each providing a 1 x SFP+ Network interface for seamless integration into SFP+ ports. The fiber optic construction ensures immunity to electromagnetic interference, making it ideal for environments with high electrical noise or where long-distance signal integrity is critical.
AOC technology embeds optical transceivers directly into the cable ends, converting electrical signals to optical and back, which reduces power consumption and heat compared to traditional copper solutions. The 10 Gbit/s throughput supports bandwidth-intensive applications, from data storage and virtualization to high-speed networking and media streaming.
Key Product Advantages
This cable offers several advantages for network professionals seeking reliable, high-speed connectivity. Its active optical design provides superior performance over longer distances compared to passive copper cables, with lower latency and reduced signal degradation.
Simplified Deployment
The integrated SFP+ connectors eliminate the need for separate transceivers, reducing installation time and potential points of failure in your network setup.
- Plug-and-play compatibility
- No external power required
Enhanced Reliability
Fiber optic construction ensures consistent performance in electrically noisy environments, with AOC technology providing stable 10 Gbit/s throughput for critical network links.
- EMI immunity
