Both 100G AOC active optical cable and 100G DAC high-speed cable are used as short-distance data transmission carriers for enterprises or data centers, but there are some differences between them. 100G AOC active cable requires photoelectric conversion when transmitting signals, while 100G DAC high-speed cable does not. It is transmitted in the form of electrical signals. The following Walsun for you to introduce the 100G AOC active optical cable and 100G DAC high-speed cable.
Walsun’s 100G AOC active optical cable has many advantages, such as high transmission rate, long transmission distance, low energy consumption, easy to use and so on. It can help communication equipment enjoy the great advantages of optical transmission, and is the ideal transmission cable for data centers, consumer electronics and other fields.
100G AOC active cable can be divided into 100G QSFP28 to QSFP28 AOC active cable, 100G QSFP28 to 2x50G QSFP28 AOC branch active cable, 100G QSFP28 to 4x25G SFP28 AOC branch active cable.
100G AOC active optical cable is widely used in data center rooms, high performance computing and storage area networks.
High-speed cables can be divided into passive high-speed cables and active high-speed cables. Active high-speed cables have one more driver chip than passive high-speed cables. Because high-speed cables transmit only electrical signals, they are cheaper than ordinary optical devices. High-speed cable can effectively save cost and reduce power consumption in short distance application, so high-speed cable is popular in short distance transmission scheme.
Walsun’s 100G DAC high-speed cable can be divided into 100G QSFP28 to QSFP28 DAC high-speed cable, 100G QSFP28 to 2x50G QSFP28 DAC branch high-speed cable, 100G QSFP28 to 4x25G SFP28 DAC branch high speed cable.
100G DAC high-speed cable and AOC active optical cable are generally used for switches and servers in data center rooms. DAC is generally used for interconnection between devices in cabinets due to its short transmission distance, while AOC active optical cable is used for interconnection between devices in cabinets due to its long transmission distance.
