Active Optical Cable

Our 8k uhd hdmi active optical cables can send signal at 48 gbps for up to 40 meters which is well outside the capabilities of a standard copper hdmi cable.

Active optical cable.

Fs united states free shipping on orders over us 79. Active cables are copper cables for data transmission that use an electronic circuit to boost the performance of the cable. And c wire aoc for 100gbe and beyond. Additionally aocs can easily be substituted by interfacing to systems via a broad range of standard msa connectors including qsfp ipass hd and cxp.

Passive cables are liable to degrade the data they carry due to channel impairments including attenuation crosstalk and group velocity distortion. Active optical cable aoc is a cabling technology that accepts same electrical inputs as a traditional copper cable but uses optical fiber between the connectors. Quadwire aoc for 40 100gbe infiniband qdr fdr edr sas3 and pcie3. Aoc uses electrical to optical conversion on the cable ends to improve speed and distance performance of the cable without sacrificing compatibility with standard electrical.

Without an electronic circuit a cable is considered a passive cable. Fs active optical cable aoc solutions provide optical inter connectivity at data rates up to 100gb s and link distances up to 100m while reducing the weight density and power consumption. Delivery times may be longer than usual due to covid 19 effect. In active cables a circuit using one or several.

Our complete product line includes sfpwire aoc for 10 25gbe. This means much higher bandwidth capabilities than standard copper cables as well as longer distances. The cables are electrically compliant with infiniband fdr qdr ddr ethernet 10. Molex s active optical cables aoc offer significant cost advantages over traditional optical modules.

Finisar active optical cables aoc accelerate storage data and high performance computing connectivity. Each cable solution leverages ii vi s fiber optic technology for the transmission of data while reducing the. Active cables provide the same effect but by embedding optics and or electronics within the connectors can overcome some of the limitations of passive cables.
