Description
The 100G SFP-DD Armored Active Optical Cable (AOC) is a high-speed optical interconnect designed for 100GbE connections in data centers and high-density network environments. Featuring hot-pluggable SFP-DD connectors, it uses two 850nm VCSEL transmit channels and two PIN receiver channels to support up to 53.125Gbps per lane and an aggregate data rate of 106.25Gbps. Integrated CDR circuitry on both ends helps maintain signal integrity for high-speed PAM4 transmission. The armored construction provides additional mechanical protection, while the LSZH jacket and compact SFP-DD form factor support reliable installation in dense rack environments. With DDM/DOM support and a low-latency optical design, the AOC provides a convenient integrated solution for short-distance connections within and between adjacent racks.
