SFP+ Active Optical Cable (AOC)

There are many reasons to choose the active optical cable over the passive or active copper-based model (SFP + Direct Attach), not least because it will be easier with a single cable type regardless of distance instead of having to mix active and passive copper cables in the server hall.

There are many reasons to choose the active optical cable over the passive or active copper-based model (SFP+ Direct Attach), not least because it is easier to use a single cable type regardless of distance instead of having to mix active and passive copper cables in the server room. The main reason, however, is probably the error rate. The Bit Error Rate (BER) for the optical cable is about one thousandth of that for the copper cable. In more practical terms, you choose between one error every hundredth of a second or one every hundred thousand! Low power consumption Thinner cable reduces congestion in the rack Easy with one cable for all lengths Low Bit Error Rate
