FAQ:
Q1: What is an Active Optical Cable (AOC) and How Does It Work?
A1: An Active Optical Cable (AOC) integrates fiber optic technology with built-in transceivers to deliver high-speed data transmission (10G-400G) without separate optical modules. Unlike traditional fiber patch cables, AOCs offer plug-and-play simplicity for data center interconnects.
Q2: Why Choose AOC Over DAC for Data Center Networking?
A2: AOC cables outperform Direct Attach Copper (DAC) in four key ways: longer reach (up to 100m vs 7m), EMI immunity, lower power consumption (30% less than active DAC), and lighter weight - critical for high-density 100G/400G deployments.
Q3: What Are the Maximum Speeds Supported by Modern AOC Cables?
A3: Today's AOC solutions support:
10G/25G (SFP+/SFP28)
40G/56G (QSFP+)
100G (QSFP28)
200G/400G (QSFP-DD/OSFP)
Perfect for hyperscale data centers upgrading to 400G Ethernet.
Q4: What's the Maximum Reliable Distance for QSFP28 AOC Cables?
A4: Standard 100G QSFP28 AOCs reliably transmit up to 100m (OM4 fiber), with premium models reaching 300m - ideal for campus data center interconnects and HPC clusters.
Q5: How Do AOC Cables Reduce Data Center OPEX?
A5: Three OPEX advantages:
40% lower power than copper alternatives
Zero maintenance (no signal degradation)
60% lighter weight reduces cooling costs
Q6: Can I Use QSFP+ AOC for Breakout to SFP+ Connections?
A6: Absolutely! Our QSFP+ to 4x SFP+ breakout AOCs enable:
Cost-effective 40G migration
Flexible spine-leaf architectures
Simplified cable management
Q7: Do AOC cables require special maintenance?
A7: No, AOC cables are durable, require no signal conditioning, and are more resistant to environmental factors than copper cables, reducing maintenance needs in data center environments.
Q8: Can AOC cables be used for breakout configurations?
A8: Yes, our QSFP+ to 4x SFP+ AOC breakout cables enable flexible 40G to 10G migration paths for cost-effective network upgrades.
Q9: How do AOC cables compare to traditional optical transceivers?
A9: AOC offer plug-and-play simplicity by eliminating separate transceivers, reducing points of failure while maintaining the benefits of optical transmission.
Q10: Are AOC cables compatible with major switch brands?
A10: Yes, our AOC cables are MSA-compliant and work with major networking equipment brands for seamless 40G/100G connectivity.

A1: A 40G QSFP (Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable) module is a hot-swappable transceiver that supports 40Gbps data transmission. It uses a 4-channel parallel design and is widely deployed in data centers and high-performance computing networks. Q2: What are the common types of 40G QSFP modules? A2: QSFP+ SR4 (850nm multimode, 100m) QSFP+ LR4 (1310nm single-mode, 10km) QSFP+ ER4 (1310nm single-mode, 40km) QSFP+ BiDi (Single-Fiber Bidirectional) Q3: How do I check if a 40G QSFP module is compatible with my device? A3: Verify three aspects: Switch vendor compatibility lists Matching fiber type (MMF/SMF) Required transmission distance Q4: How to resolve overheating in 40G QSFP modules? A4: Solutions: Ensure adequate device ventilation Use modules with heat dissipation fins Avoid sustained 100% bandwidth utilization Q5: What precautions should I take when installing 40G QSFP modules? A5: Key operational guidelines: Clean fiber connectors before insertion to prevent dust from disrupting optical signal transmission. Ensure adequate ventilation around devices; reserve thermal headroom for high-heat modules. Configure port aggregation mode on the switch when using breakout applications. Q6: What's the difference between SFP, QSFP and QSFP-DD modules? A6: SFP (1-25G), QSFP (40-100G), and QSFP-DD (400G+) differ in form factor and bandwidth capacity. QSFP-DD doubles QSFP28's density with 8-lane electrical interfaces. Q7: How does ETU-Link ensure compatibility with major brands? A7: We maintain a multi-vendor test lab with full protocol support (Ethernet/InfiniBand/Fibre Channel) and 100% compatibility verification before shipment Q8: What temperature ranges do your modules support? A8: Commercial grade (0°C to +70°C) Extended grade (-20°C to +85°C) Industrial grade (-40°C to +85°C) for harsh environments. Q9: How does ETU-Link achieve 40G QSFP+ interoperability? A9: Through: Multi-vendor switch testing Firmware customization for legacy equipment MSA-compliant electrical interfaces Q10: Do 40G QSFP+ modules support DDM/DOM monitoring? A10: Standard feature including: Real-time temperature (±1°C accuracy) Tx/Rx power (µW/dBm display) Laser bias current
