DAC high-speed cable is a low-cost and short-distance connection solution for data center equipment. It consists of a cable and optical fiber transceiver devices at both ends of the cable. Because of the high cost performance, the interconnection application between short-distance network equipment is widely welcomed. At present, there are many specifications of DAC high-speed cables on the market...

In the establishment of a 10G network, we will face a choice, that is, whether we choose optical fiber cabling or copper cabling. Optical fiber cabling systems are divided into multi-mode（MM) optical fiber cabling systems and single-mode(SM) optical fiber cabling systems, among which 10G MM optical fiber cabling systems need to use 10G SFP+ MM optical modules, 10G AOC active optical...

According to the working temperature range, optical modules can be divided into commercial (0℃ - 70℃), expansion (- 20℃ - 85℃), industrial (- 40℃ - 85℃). Generally, only commercial optical module is needed for indoor optical module, but industrial optical module is needed if the optical module is used in outdoor environment with uncertain and fluctuating temperature (such as remote mountain area, ...

Fiber optic communication has completely replaced cable communication due to its advantages of high transmission quality, small size and weight. As an important part of fiber optic communication, optical module mainly plays the role of optical signal conversion, converting electrical signals of network equipment into optical signals, so that data can be transmitted in fiber. The following ETU-Link...
