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.

AOC cable usage scenarios and connections
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. |
