Product Description
Active Optical Cables
Approved's Active Optical Cables (AOC) feature aggregate rates up to 168GB of total bandwidth and are ideal for the high- density signal transmission seen in most data centers and high performance computing applications. Approved AOC's currently offer cable lengths up to 300 meters and consume less than 2W per connection on a 400GB QSFP-DD end.
Form Factors: SFP+ QSFP+ QSFP+ Breakout CXP CXP Breakout QSFP28 QSFP28 Breakout and QSFP-DD.
Applications: Rack-to-rack shelf-to-shelf interconnection of data center hubs switches routers servers and storage systems.
Benefits: Bit Error Rate (BER) is 1000x better than copper cables. 3-4x lighter than copper cables with a tighter bend radius. Typical power (275 mW per end) is 1/3 the wattage of a SFP+ transceiver with improved EMI.
