AOC (AcTIve OpTIcal Fiber active optical fiber) active optical cable refers to a communication cable that requires optical transceivers in the communication process to convert electrical signals into optical signals, or convert optical signals into electrical signals, and optical transceivers at both ends of the optical cable The device provides photoelectric conversion and optical transmission functions.
AOC active optical cable is composed of multi-mode fiber, optical transceiver, control chip and parallel optical module. Compared with DAC high-speed cables, AOC active optical cables have many advantages such as high transmission rate, long transmission distance, low energy consumption, and convenient use, which can help communication equipment enjoy the huge advantages of optical transmission.
The advantages of AOC active optical cable:
①Lightweight: Compared with high-speed cables, the volume and weight are much smaller
②Anti-electromagnetic interference: Since optical fiber transmits optical signals, it is not easily affected by electromagnetic interference
Disadvantages of AOC active optical cable:
Compared with DAC high-speed cable, the cost is higher
Damage to one end of the module will cause the entire active cable to be scrapped
