Optical Transceivers

1.6T OSFP AECs are designed to extend the reach of copper interconnects beyond what passive DACs can achieve, especially as data speeds increase. They integrate active components, such as retimers at both ends of the cable to reshape, amplify, and equalize signals, ensuring reliable high-speed communication over longer distances.1.6T OSFP DACs are passive copper cables designed for ultra-high-density, short-reach interconnects. Unlike AECs, DACs do not have active components to boost the signal, making them suitable for shorter distances.

800G QSFP-DD cables, available as DAC, AEC, and ACC, are high-speed interconnect solutions designed for 800 Gigabit Ethernet applications, InfiniBand Next Data Rate (NDR), and other high-performance computing (HPC) environments.

800G QSFP-DD DACs are passive copper cables used for very short-distance interconnects 0.5M-3M, offering a cost-effective and power-efficient solution. 800G QSFP-DD AECs are copper cables that incorporate active electronic components, specifically re-timer chips, at both ends to regenerate and equalize the electrical signals. This allows them to achieve longer transmission distances up to 7M.

800G OSFP (Octal Small Form Factor Pluggable) cables are designed for very high bandwidth Ethernet links, enabling network speeds of up to 800 gigabits per second on a single port.

800G OSFP Active Copper Cables (ACC) is often used to describe active copper solutions that improve upon passive DACs, similar to AECs. These cables typically feature internal signal conditioning to extend reach beyond that of passive DACs.
