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.

Q2: Can I use 10G BiDi SFP+ for duplex fiber conversion?‌ A2: Yes, BiDi modules (1270nm/1330nm) enable single-fiber bidirectional transmission on existing duplex fiber plants. Q3: Why do some 10G SFP+ modules require external clock circuits?‌ A3: High-speed modules (e.g., 10G-LR) use ‌CDR (Clock Data Recovery)‌ chips to reduce jitter, requiring precise clock synchronization circuits on host PCB designs. Q4: Can I plug a 10G SFP+ module into an SFP port?‌ A4: Physically compatible, but ‌electrically incompatible‌ – SFP ports lack 10G SerDes lanes, causing link failure unless switch supports rate adaptation. Q5: What is difference between SFP and SFP+? A5: The main difference between SFP and SFP+ is that the SFP+ is used in Gigabit Ethernet applications while SFP is for 100Bse or 1000Base applications. SFP doesn't support 10G transmission data rate, which means they can't be used in the same network. Q6: What is SFP+ port used for? A6: SFP + modules are commonly used for Gigabit Ethernet and 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections and can adapt to various application scenarios, including high-speed network connections and fiber optic links. Q7: How to choose between SR, LR and ER optical modules?‌ A7: SR (Short Reach) for ≤300m multimode, LR (Long Reach) for 10km single-mode, ER (Extended Reach) for 40km+ single-mode applications. Q8: What are the advantages of 10G SFP+ BIDI? A8: Key Benefits:‌ Single-Fiber Solution‌ - Uses WDM to transmit/receive on one fiber (e.g., 1270nm/1330nm pairing) Cost Savings‌ - 50% less fiber usage, 30-40% lower installation costs Space Efficiency‌ - Doubles port density without new cabling Applications: areas with limited fiber resources, 5G fronthaul networks, metropolitan area network expansion, and high-density data center interconnection. Q9: Do 10G modules support DDM/DOM monitoring?‌ A9: A: Yes, compliant modules follow ‌SFF-8472‌ for real-time monitoring of temperature, TX power, and RX sensitivity. Q10: What is the maximum transmission distance of ETU-Link optical modules?‌ A10: Our modules support from 100m (SR multimode) up to 120km (ZR single-mode), with specific models optimized for 300m, 10km, 40km, 80km and 120km applications.
