Cisco Compatible Active Optical Cable (AOC) Connects Network Equipment at Speeds up to 10 Gbps

Black Box SFP+ Active Optical Cables provide premium, error-free performance for data, storage, and high-performance computing (HPC) interconnectivity. 100% compatible with Cisco SFP-10G-AOC5M= and other lengths, you can rest assured when making connections among your Cisco switches, routers, and servers. Constructed for full compliance with the SFP+ Multi-Source Agreement (MSA) and SFF-8431 industry standards, you can also make connections amongst your non-Cisco, non-proprietary 10Gb networking equipment. Programmed, tested, and serialized to ensure compliance and functionality, Black Box Active Optical Cables are the ideal solution for 10Gb Ethernet, Infiniband (QDR, SDR, DDR), Fiber Channel applications, and more.

Design, Performance, and Savings

The ultra-thin and light construction is ideal for high-density racks, placing less strain on ports and improving airflow to help cool equipment. AOCs utilize optical technology for higher bandwidth and reliable, ultra-fast data transmission over longer distances, far exceeding the 5-meter limitation where copper DAC solutions begin to fail with excessive bit error rates.

Integration and Low Latency

These cables offer a convenient, all-in-one, hot-swappable design, eliminating the need for separate transceivers and cables. Integrating the optics minimizes connection points, resulting in significantly lower latency - crucial for maintaining data integrity.

Interference Resistance and Security

The fiber optic construction provides a minimal EMI/RFI profile, ensuring superior resistance to signal interference. This is paramount for maintaining data integrity in sensitive, ultra-high-density applications. Fiber optic transmission is inherently resistant to tapping, adding a layer of physical security to your data.
