Active Optical Cables (AOC)

LANMexx  AOC cable is built to help reach high data transfer rates between 1-300m for the purposes of short-range multi-lane data communication and interconnect applications. It does this by translating standard data signals into lasers light pulses. This light is carried over an optical fibre that is directly connected onto the AOC module and translated back into data on the other side. This helps us build communication systems that are still compatible with standard electrical interfaces and when compared to standard direct attach copper cables, the distance they can achieve is significantly greater. Active Optical Cables are being deployed extensively, especially in datacenters, helping them to continually evolve their interconnect capacities.

LANMexx Active Optical Cables consist of a range of connectors types. SFP+, SFP28, QSFP+, QSFP+ to SFP+, QSFP28 and QSFP28 Breakouts are available as well as QSFP-DD interface for 200G and 400G connections over DSR4.
