AOC Cable
Types of AOC Cables
An active optical cable (AOC) is an active optical fiber with optical modules at both ends, and therefore is easy to use. Figure 6-35, Figure 6-36, and Figure 6-37 show different types of AOC cables.
Table 6-16 lists the attributes of various AOC cables.

Connection
Table 6-17 describes usage scenarios of AOC cables and cable connections in these scenarios.
Cable Type |
Connection |
|---|---|
SFP+ to SFP+ AOC cable |
Both ends connect to a 10GE optical port. |
QSFP+ to QSFP+ AOC cable |
|
QSFP+ to 4*SFP+ AOC cable |
When a 40GE optical port is split into four 10GE optical ports:
One end connects to the 40GE optical port, and the other end connects to four 10GE optical ports. |
SFP28 to SFP28 AOC cable |
Used for 25GE optical port connection or stacking between CloudEngine 9800, 8800, 7800, 6800, and 5800 series switches. Both ends connect to a 25GE optical port. |
QSFP28 to QSFP28 AOC cable |
Used for 100GE optical port connection or stacking between CloudEngine 9800, 8800, 7800, 6800, and 5800 series switches. Both ends connect to a 100GE optical port. |
