Product Features
Technical Overview
This active optical cable operates at 25 gigabits per second, making it suitable for 25GbE network deployments, storage area networks, and high-performance computing clusters. The SFP28 connectors on both ends provide a standardized interface that works with a wide range of network equipment from various manufacturers.
The AOC technology integrates optical transceivers directly into the cable assembly, eliminating the need for separate optical modules and simplifying deployment. This integrated approach reduces points of failure while maintaining the performance benefits of fiber optic transmission.
Key Product Advantages
This Axiom active optical cable offers several advantages over traditional copper or passive optical solutions. The integrated AOC design provides superior signal integrity at 25 Gbit/s speeds while maintaining a compact form factor that's easier to manage in dense network environments.
