The QSFP+ AOC - Active Optical Cable is a high performance integrated cable for short-range multi-lane data communication and interconnect applications. It integrates four data lanes in each direction with 40 Gbps aggregate bandwidth. Built with bonded multi-mode or single-mode fiber, these cables deliver secure, low-latency. DESIGNED FOR USE IN 40 GIGABIT ETHERNET APPLICATIONS. COMPLIANT WITH THE QSFP MSA AND IEEE 802. 3BA Amphenol provides a series of 40G QSFP+optical module products, including SR4, eSR4, IR4, LR4, ER4 lite, AOC and AOC breakout series. It provides a cost-efficient solution as compared to using discrete optical transceivers and optical patch cables and. Our active optical cable assembly portfolio provides improved cable flexibility and longer reach as compared to both traditional passive copper and emerging active copper (ACC/AEC) solutions, supporting high performance computing, data center and networking interconnect applications. TE. Our AOCs are a type of fiber optic cable with electrical-to-optical (E/O) and optical-to-electrical (O/E) converters on each end.
