Before we talk about 10G SFP+ AOC active cable, let's first understand what AOC active cable is. Active refers to the active optical cable in the process of communication with the help of external energy in order to carry out photoelectric conversion. Optical cable refers to active optical cable, which uses optical fiber as transmission medium. Now, you know what active fiber cable is.

The emergence of active optical cable is due to the fact that the system based on copper cable can no longer meet the needs of users for data transmission. Compared with high-speed cable, active optical cable has the advantages of larger bandwidth, lighter volume and weight, lower electromagnetic interference, longer transmission distance and better heat dissipation. It has successfully replaced high-speed cable and become the mainstream application scheme in large-scale data center and high-performance computing cluster.

After understanding the meaning and advantages of active optic cable, next, ETU-Link will enter the topic to introduce the features and applications of 10G SFP+ AOC active optical cable.

10G SFP+ AOC active optical cable, with 10G transmission rate, hot pluggable, working wavelength of 850nm, all metal shell, excellent EMI performance, transmission distance of 300m on OM3 MMF.

ETU-Link SFP+ active fiber optic cable is a direct connection optical fiber component with a SFP+ connector. It is suitable for short distance application scenarios (1-300m) and provides a cost-effective way to connect devices within and across adjacent racks.

10G SFP+ AOC active fiber optic cables are mainly used in 10Gb Ethernet, 4G and 8G fibre channel applications, high-performance computing clusters, servers, switches, storage and host card adapters. In addition to the above enterprise application scenarios, 10G SFP+ AOC active optical cable is also widely used for the interconnection between set-top box and TV.
