Frequently Asked Questions
What is a 10GBase-AOC active optical cable used for?
A 10GBase-AOC active optical cable connects high-speed network equipment like switches, servers, and storage systems over distances up to 30 meters. It's commonly used in data centers, enterprise networks, and environments where copper cables would introduce signal loss or electromagnetic interference.
Is this cable compatible with Brocade switches?
Yes, this AddOn cable is Brocade-compatible and has been programmed, serialized, and fully tested to ensure 100% compliance with Brocade network equipment. It works seamlessly with Brocade SAN switches and fabric infrastructure.
Why choose an active optical cable over copper for 30 meters?
Active optical cables deliver superior performance over extended distances by using fiber optics to eliminate attenuation and crosstalk. They're ideal for 30-meter runs where copper would degrade signal quality, and they provide better EMI immunity in high-interference environments.
Is this cable TAA compliant for government contracts?
Yes, this 10GBase-AOC SFP+ cable is TAA compliant, meeting Trade Agreements Act requirements for federal procurement and regulated industries. It qualifies for government and institutional purchasing programs.
