Active Optical Cable (AOC) – Optical Break-Out
- Technology
- Fibre optic transceivers
- Partner
- Hisense Broadband
The Hisense range of AOC optical break-outs cover a variety of form factors and data-rates from 25 to 200 Gb/s for applications in High Performance Computing (HPC) interconnects, Data Centre (DC) networking, InfiniBand EDR/QDR interconnects, networked storage systems, inter-rack/intra-rack, and optical data break-out applications.
Each cable solution is configured for lowest weight, dimensions and power consumption when compared to alternative copper solutions. The cables are designed for easy cabinet installment due to small bend radius.
AOC solutions from Hisense are optimised for high-port count architectures and have low-cost performance per interconnect in focus.
