Active Optical Cables (AOCs) are essentially transceiver products that are permanently embedded with fiber optic cables. Active Optical Cables are used in multi-lane data communication and interconnect. Explore Amphenol's high-speed Active Optical Cables designed for data centers, HPC, telecom, and storage systems with support from 12G to 400G. Compared to copper cables, Thunderbolt™ cables are up to 20 times longer, 50% thinner and 80% lighter, allowing you to transform the way you. Our active optical cable assembly portfolio provides greater cable flexibility and longer reach, as compared to both traditional passive copper solutions and emerging active copper (ACC/AEC) solutions, supporting high performance computing, data center, and networking interconnect applications.
