AOC connection solution

In today's big data era, people's demand for high speed and high bandwidth is getting greater and greater. It is urgent to have a new product as the main transmission media of high -performance computing and data centers. The environment was born. Yitian will introduce some knowledge about active optical cables in this article.

1. What is AOC?

There are active optical cables, AOC is a abbreviation of the Active Optical Fiber. It looks similar to that of copper cables, but the transmission method and the use environment are different.

In addition, AOC uses one optical cable to connect two high -density connectors,

2. Advantages ofaoc:

v Low power consumption;

v Small volume;

v Light weight;

; Heating performance;

; The transmission distance is long;

There is no pollution of the connection port;

v Good stability.

3. Application of AOC:

a. AOC application on the switch

40G QSFP+ AOC to 4*10G SFP+ AOC can connect to 2 40G switches, and it can also connect 10G switches with 10G network card:

b. AOC application in the computer room

Between 5-30 meters, AOC can be used for data center switches to connect to the rack; if it is less than 5 meters, the best choice is DAC; if it is greater than 30 meters, if over 30m, it is best to choose the light module and the jump line connect.

4. The quality of AOC:

Yi Tianguang's communication is strictly controlled by controlling each product, and AOC is no exception. In order to ensure quality and work stability, each AOC optical cable must be tested on the switch before shipping.

SFP, SFP+, XFP, X2 and XenPak are possible interconnected?
