FAQ
What is the length of this Axiom active optical cable?
This Axiom active optical cable measures 30 meters in length, which equals 98.4 feet. This moderate distance provides flexibility for connecting network equipment within server rooms, between adjacent racks, or across typical data center floor layouts while maintaining full 10 Gbit/s performance.
What type of connectors does this cable use?
The cable features SFP+ network connectors on both ends. Each end has a single SFP+ connector, creating a symmetrical cable that connects directly to SFP+ ports on compatible switches, routers, and network devices without requiring additional adapters or modules.
What is Active Optical Technology (AOT)?
Active Optical Technology integrates optical transceivers directly into the cable connectors, creating an all-in-one assembly. This eliminates the need for separate SFP+ modules, reduces connection points that could fail, ensures optimal signal integrity, and simplifies deployment by providing a pre-tested, plug-and-play solution.
