40G QSFP+DAC(Direct Attach Cable ) are widely used in data centers. They have been built into 8pirs twin axial copper cable assembly suitable for short reach applications. The design allows for a serial data transmission up to 41.2Gbps. The modules are complied with QSFP+ Multi-Sourcing Agreement (MSA) SFF-8436. QSFP+ DAC transceivers is targeted at data centers with high speed aggregation external backplane, point to point switch to switch, and network integrated cards used in high performance computing applications.
40G QSFP+ AOC(Active Optical Cable ) are also widely used in data centers to accelerate data connectivity for storage,networking and computing. AOC is composed of optical transceivers in both ends and multimode fiber cable in between. This integrated optical module solution removes the complicated optical fiber interface and brings friendly and intuitive electrical-to-electrical interface to users. Comparing traditional copper solutions like DAC, key advantages of AOC includes relatively longer connection up to 100m, lower weight for high port count architectures and lower power consumption.
