Finisar Active Optical Cables (AOC)

Finisar Active Optical Cables (AOC) are engineered to accelerate storage, data, and high-performance computing (HPC) connectivity. By integrating high-speed transceivers with fixed fiber optic cabling, these assemblies provide a seamless "all-in-one" solution for high-bandwidth links.

Comprehensive Product Portfolio

Finisar selection includes specialized cabling for every enterprise requirement:

• SFPwire® AOC: Optimized for 10G and 25GbE applications, providing a low-latency link for server-to-switch connectivity.

• Quadwire® AOC: Designed for high-density 40G and 100GbE environments, with full support for InfiniBand QDR/FDR/EDR, SAS3, and PCIe3 protocols.

• C.wire® AOC: Built for the most demanding infrastructures, supporting 100GbE and beyond for massive data aggregation and core routing.

The Optical Advantage

Each Finisar cable solution leverages industry-leading fiber technology to transmit data with superior signal integrity. Compared to traditional copper solutions, these optical cables offer significant operational benefits:

• Reduced Weight & Density: Thinner, more flexible cabling allows for easier routing and significantly better airflow in crowded racks.

• Lower Power Consumption: Optimized for energy efficiency, helping to reduce the overall power envelope of the data center.

• Extended Reach: Maintains 100% signal strength over longer distances than standard copper DAC cables.
