Active Optical Cables
L-comRequest Info
Active Optical Cables from L-com are hot swappable, pluggable cable assemblies that support high-speed Ethernet, InfiniBand and Fibre Channel connectivity.
The cables are opto-electronic devices used in place of standard fiber optic transceivers due to ease of deployment and lower cost compared to individual transceivers with separable fiber optic cable assemblies. Although they use the same electrical interface as Direct-Attach Cables, the Active Optical Cables use fiber optic cable instead of copper wiring to support distances up to 100 m.
The cables are available in off-the-shelf lengths ranging from 1 to 100 m.
