   100G AOC active optical cable and 100G DAC high-speed cable are both used as short-distance data transmission carriers in enterprises or data centers, but there are some differences between them. 100G AOC active optical cable needs to perform photoelectric conversion when transmitting signals, while 100G DAC high-speed cable does not need it, it transmits in the form of electrical signals. Next, Hengtong Future (THF) will introduce 100G AOC active optical cable and 100G DAC high-speed cable to you.



HTF 100G AOC active optical cable has many advantages such as high transmission rate, long transmission distance, low energy consumption, and convenient use. It can help communication equipment to enjoy the huge advantages of optical transmission. Ideal for transmission cables.
100G AOC active optical cable can be divided into 100G QSFP28 to QSFP28 AOC active optical cable, 100G QSFP28 to 2x50G QSFP28 AOC branch active optical cable, 100G QSFP28 to 4x25G SFP28 AOC branch active optical cable.



100G AOC active optical cables are widely used in data center computer rooms, high-performance computing and storage area networks, etc.
High-speed cables can be divided into passive high-speed cables and active high-speed cables. Active high-speed cables have one more driver chip than passive high-speed cables. Because high-speed cables can only transmit electrical signals, high-speed cables are cheaper than other common optics. High-speed cables can effectively save costs and reduce power consumption in short-distance applications, so high-speed cables are more popular in short-distance transmission schemes.
HTF‘s 100G DAC high-speed cables can be divided into 100G QSFP28 to QSFP28 DAC high-speed cables, 100G QSFP28 to 2x50G QSFP28 DAC branch high-speed cables, and 100G QSFP28 to 4x25G SFP28 DAC branch high-speed cables.


100G DAC high-speed cables and AOC active optical cables are generally used on switches and servers in the data center room. DACs are generally used for interconnection between equipment in the cabinet due to their short transmission distance, while AOC active optical cables have relatively long transmission distances. Therefore, there are more interconnections of equipment between cabinets.
