Product Features
Technical Overview
This fiber optic cable supports a data transfer rate of 40 Gbit/s, making it suitable for high-bandwidth applications such as data center interconnects, server-to-switch links, and backbone networking. The QSFP+ connectors are industry-standard interfaces that provide a compact, hot-pluggable solution for 40GbE and other high-speed protocols.
AOC technology enhances signal integrity by converting electrical signals to optical within the cable assembly, reducing signal degradation and electromagnetic interference. This results in consistent performance across the 23 ft length, with lower power consumption compared to traditional copper alternatives at similar speeds.
Key Product Advantages
The Axiom R0Z22A-AX offers several advantages for network deployments, starting with its plug-and-play simplicity. The integrated AOC design eliminates the need for separate optical transceivers, reducing component count and potential points of failure in your infrastructure.

FAQ
What is the length of this Axiom fiber optic cable?
The Axiom R0Z22A-AX cable is 23 feet long, which is approximately 7 meters. This length provides flexibility for connecting network equipment within racks or between adjacent racks in data center and enterprise environments.
What type of connectors does this cable have?
This cable features QSFP+ (Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable Plus) connectors on both ends. Each end has one male QSFP+ network connector, making it a direct QSFP+ to QSFP+ cable suitable for 40 Gbit/s applications.
What is AOC technology and how does it benefit this cable?
AOC stands for Active Optical Cable. It integrates optical fibers with embedded electronics that convert electrical signals to optical signals within the cable assembly. This technology provides better signal integrity over longer distances compared to passive cables, reduces electromagnetic interference, and typically offers lower power consumption than comparable copper solutions.
What devices is this cable compatible with?
The cable is compatible with network devices, routers, and switches that support QSFP+ interfaces. It's designed for 40GbE applications and can connect compatible equipment in data centers, enterprise networks, and high-performance computing environments without requiring separate transceivers.
