Solutions of QSFP/CXP AOC

AOC(Active Optical Cable) is key component of optical interconnection technique, there is two modes of them, one is QSFP(4 channel QDR, 4X10G), the other is CXP(12 channel QDR, 12X10G). The following graph is the technical principles of AOC.

AOC is one kind of parallel transceiver. VCSEL and PIN array package is key technique, through I2C system can contact with module.

Application of AOC

AOC is used for short-distance and high-volume data interconnection between datacenter, super computer, router and switcher. Its max transmitting distance is about 100m longer than conventional copper cable. Low cost and small weight are also its advantages.
