Active Optical Cables (AOCs)

Eaton’s active optical cables (AOCs) are a reliable solution for connecting high-speed network devices across longer distances and higher bandwidths compared to passive optical cables, making them useful for applications like data center connectivity, telecom, server and storage systems, and high-performance computing. Transceiver modules are attached to each end, providing a plug-and-play interface for devices such as servers, switches and routers. AOCs are ideal in applications that require high-speed data transmission, such as 10G, 25G, 40G or 100G Ethernet, InfiniBand, Fibre Channel or PCIe.

Whether connecting switches, hubs, routers, servers or storage devices, Eaton AOCs support a variety of protocols and form factors, including QSFP+ and QSFP28 up to 100 Gbps. Tested and certified to comply with industry standards, Eaton AOCs are backed by a limited lifetime warranty and a technical support team dedicated to world-class customer service, including installation, maintenance and troubleshooting.

Connector Types
QSFP+, QSFP28
Data Speeds
Up to 100 Gbps
Cable Lengths
Up to 30 m (100 ft.)

Push/Pull Tab Connectors Provide Quick, Easy Connections

The hot-pluggable QSFP28 connectors include ergonomic push/pull tabs, which are easily accessible in high-density applications and make the cable easy to install and remove with just one hand.​

Engineered and Optimized for Bandwidth-Intense Applications

Eaton Tripp Lite series active optical cables integrate up to a 100 Gbps Ethernet-optimized 38-position “board as connector” design. Die-cast zinc connectors offer superior EMI (electromagnetic interference) resistance and reduced crosstalk. The connectors have also been tested to meet stringent insertion loss standards. The cable is suitable for high-speed, short-reach dense data connections, such as 100GBASE-SR4 Ethernet, PCIe, Fibre Channel and InfiniBand applications. The plenum-rated OFNP jacket is designed for connecting network components in drop ceiling, walls and ducts.​
