FAQ
What is the data transfer rate of this Axiom AOC cable?
This cable supports a data transfer rate of 40 Gbit/s (40 gigabits per second), making it suitable for high-speed networking applications such as data center interconnects, server connections, and network backbone links. The 40GBASE-AOC designation confirms its compatibility with 40GbE standards.
What devices is this cable compatible with?
The cable is compatible with routers and switches, specifically designed for Edge-Core networking equipment. It features QSFP+ connectors on both ends, which are standard for 40GbE ports on many enterprise-grade networking devices, ensuring broad interoperability in professional environments.
How long is the cable and what type is it?
The cable length is 10 meters (32.8 feet). It is a fiber optic Active Optical Cable (AOC), which integrates optical transceivers into the cable assembly. This design provides reliable high-speed transmission over the specified distance with minimal signal degradation compared to passive copper cables.
What does AOC technology provide?
Active Optical Cable (AOC) technology incorporates optical transceivers directly into the cable ends, eliminating the need for separate pluggable modules. This results in a simpler, more reliable connection with lower power consumption and reduced points of failure, while maintaining high performance over fiber optic media.
