AOC(Active Optical Cable)

 

 

10Gtek’s Active Optical cables (AOC) offer a flexible way to connect within racks and across adjacent racks. AOCs are much thinner and lighter than copper cables, which makes cabling easier. Active optical cables enable efficient system airflow, which is critical in high-density racks.


10Gtek offers a wide range of products for 1m to 100m reaches, in CXP, QSFP28, QSFP, SFP28, SFP+ form factors and data rates of 10G~120G.


In addition to meeting or exceeding IBTA and IEEE standards, 10Gtek AOC are 100% tested on various of brand switches and routers (Cisco, Juniper, Arista, Extreme, HP, Uniquiti etc) to ensure well compatibility and the best optimal signal integrity. With 10Gtek AOC you will experience trouble-free installation and long-term operation.
