AOC (Active Optical Cable)
Active Optical Cables (AOCs) are an advanced cabling technology that accepts the same electrical inputs as direct attach cables but utilizes optical fiber between the connectors. By employing electrical-to-optical conversion at the cable ends, AOCs enhance speed and distance performance without compromising compatibility with standard electrical interfaces.
We supply AOC cable to meet the demands of high-density cabling interconnect systems, such as data centers and high-performance computing applications. Our AOC cables achieve high data rates over long distances while consuming a fraction of the power compared to other brands cable, to ensuring efficient and streamlined installation for high-performance computing and storage applications.
As a professional AOC Cable Supplier, we offers a wide range of active optical cables with various specifications at competitive prices.
FAQs of Active Optical Cable
CWDM4 MSA is a general specification for low-cost 100g optical interface, 2km in data center application.
CWDM4 MSA alliance was jointly launched by Avago, Finisar, JDSU and Oclaro on March 31, 2014. Four 25gbps signals are used and multiplexed to two single-mode optical fibers by CWDM. IEEE 802.3bj kr4 RS FEC technology is adopted.
CWDM MSA said the release of the standard has collected feedback from more than 40 companies, including system OEMs, optical module manufacturers, chip manufacturers, fiber optic cable manufacturers, etc. At present, members of cwdm4 MSA alliance include:

MZ, Mach Zehnder, Mach Zehnder modulator. The modulator divides the input light into two equal signals and enters the two optical branches of the modulator respectively. The materials used in the two optical branches are electro-optical materials, and their refractive index varies with the external applied electric signal. Because the change of the refractive index of the optical branch will lead to the change of the signal phase, when the output ends of the two branch signal modulators are combined together again, the synthesized optical signal will be an interference signal with varying intensity, which is equivalent to converting the change of electric signal into the variation of optical signal and realizing the modulation of light intensity.
