Know before you buy
This cable is specifically programmed and tested for Cisco environments. While it may function with other hardware, we recommend it primarily for Cisco switches, routers, and servers to ensure full compatibility and performance.
An Active Optical Cable uses fiber optics to transmit data, which allows for a much thinner, lighter, and more flexible cable compared to copper. It also provides better signal integrity over the 7-meter distance, making it easier to manage in high-density rack environments.
No, this is a plug-and-play solution. It is designed to be recognized by your Cisco equipment immediately upon insertion, just like an original manufacturer cable.
Yes. Because this cable is TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant, it meets the necessary requirements for procurement by the United States government and federal agencies.
No, the cable is engineered to maintain a consistent 40Gbps throughput across its entire 7-meter length. You will experience the same high-speed performance as you would with shorter cables.
