Sterling SFP+ Active Optical Cables are hot-swappable, low-voltage cable assemblies that connect directly into SFP+ modules at both ends. These cables use a 20-position connector with active circuitry to increase distances and to improve EMI and reduce signal loss. SFP+ Active Optical Cable transmits 10Gbps data in each direction over a loose tube fibre with distance up to 100m.
Sterling AOC are SFP+ MSA compliant, low power consumption and lightweight, which can be used as an alternative solution to SFP+ passive and active copper cables, while providing improved signal integrity, longer distances, superior electromagnetic immunity and better bit error rate performance.
