 Description - 10Gbps SFP+ Active Optical Cable 850nm(AOC)

Fiberers F3001 high speed SFP+ AOC (Active Optical Cable) assemblies use active circuits to support longer distances than standard passive or Active SFP+ Copper Cables. They are designed for high speed, short range data link via optical fiber wire. SFP+ AOC cables provide high performance Enhanced Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP+) interface and is a cost effective solution for Data Center/ storage and all short range data application.

SFP+ Connectors meet the harshest external operating conditions including temperature, humidity and EMI interference. Final test and quality systems assure high quality cable assemblies conforming to the high-speed electrical performance requirements in industry specifications.

SFP+ AOC modules allow hardware manufactures to achieve high port density, configurability and utilization at a very low cast and reduced power budget.
