Integrated Optical Design

The HIPHOTONICS 10G SFP+ AOC integrates two SFP+ optical ends with a multimode fiber cable into one complete assembly.

Because the optical modules and fiber are factory-terminated and tested as one assembly, there is no need to separately select SFP+ transceivers and optical patch cords.

This simplifies installation and reduces the number of connection points in the optical link.

High-Speed 10G Connectivity

The 10G SFP+ AOC is designed for high-bandwidth applications including 10 Gigabit Ethernet, with typical implementations using an 850 nm VCSEL transmitter and PIN receiver over multimode fiber. Depending on the selected construction, OM3 multimode fiber can support links up to approximately 300 m.

This makes the product particularly suitable for short- and medium-distance connections within data centers and equipment rooms.

Flexible Cable Lengths

HIPHOTONICS can provide a broad range of standard lengths, including:

• 1 m
• 2 m
• 3 m
• 5 m
• 7 m
• 10 m
• 15 m
• 20 m
• 25 m
• 30 m
• 40 m
• 50 m

Longer customized lengths can also be evaluated according to the application and required transmission performance. Commercial 10G SFP+ AOC products are available in configurations extending from a few meters to 100 m or more, depending on the design. 

Reliable Solution for High-Density Networks

The integrated AOC design eliminates separate optical connectors and patch-cord assemblies between the SFP+ modules, helping simplify cable management in high-density installations.

It is especially suitable for:

• Data center racks
• Switch-to-switch connections
• Switch-to-server connections
• Server-to-storage connections
• Network aggregation
• High-performance computing
• Enterprise network backbones
• Storage area networks

10G SFP+ AOCs are commonly used for short switch-to-switch and switch-to-server connections where a compact, integrated optical solution is preferred.

Broad Equipment Compatibility

HIPHOTONICS can provide generic MSA-compatible versions as well as coded versions programmed for specific equipment manufacturers.

Compatibility options can include equipment from:

• Cisco
• Huawei
• HPE
• Dell
• Juniper
• Arista
• H3C
• Ubiquiti
• Mellanox
• Other compatible network equipment

For OEM projects, the EEPROM coding can be configured according to the customer's equipment and compatibility requirements.

Typical Applications

Data Centers

Used for high-speed connections between switches, servers, storage equipment, and aggregation systems.

Server and Storage Networks

Provides a simple 10Gbps interconnection between servers, network switches, and storage devices.

Enterprise Networks

Suitable for high-bandwidth connections between network cabinets and core or aggregation switches.

High-Performance Computing

The high-speed optical interface provides a practical interconnection solution for computing and storage environments.

Network Equipment Interconnection

Suitable for switch-to-switch and switch-to-server connections where short-distance 10Gbps connectivity is required.

Technical Specifications

*Specifications depend on the selected model and cable length. Final optical, electrical, and mechanical parameters should be confirmed in the product datasheet.

AOC vs. DAC

For short-distance 10G connections, both SFP+ DAC and SFP+ AOC can provide cost-effective alternatives to separate transceivers and patch cords.

For longer short-range connections or environments where electromagnetic interference and cable density are important considerations, AOC can provide advantages over copper DAC.
