AOC Active Optical Cables for the Big Data Era


Opcsun Technology

High density, high bandwidth applications

In the era of big data, the increasing number of high-density and high-bandwidth applications has pushed passive optical cables and copper-based cabling systems to their limits. In order to ensure the stability and flexible applicability of transmission, users urgently need new types of products as the main transmission medium for high-performance computing and data centers. Under these circumstances, active optical cable products have been born.


AOC is the next generation cable connector

Compared with traditional cables, active optical cables have many advantages, such as high transmission speed, long transmission distance, low energy consumption, and ease of use. It helps communication equipment enjoy the great advantages of optical transmission, and is the ideal transmission cable for fields such as data centers and home appliances. AOC active optical cables are called the next generation cable connectors. In addition to servers, their use is expected to expand to various devices in the future, such as 8K/4K high-definition TV broadcasting, high-speed data transmission, artificial intelligence, AR & VR, industrial robots, medical visual systems, event broadcasting, advertising media, and entertainment media.
