Ascent’s SFP+ Active Optical Cable (AOC) assemblies use active circuits to support longer distances than standard Passive or Active SFP+ Copper Cables. They are designed for high speed, short range data link via optical fiber wire. SFP+ AOC cables provide high performance Enhanced Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP+) interface and it is a cost effective solution for Data Center/ storage and data application. The Active Optical Cables (AOC) can be used as an alternative solution to SFP+ passive and active copper cables, while providing improved signal integrity, longer distances, superior electromagnetic immunity and better bit error rate performance.

Notes:
1. Connected directly to TX data input pins.AC coupling from pins into laser driver IC.
2. Into 100Ω differential termination
3. 20-80%.Measured with Module Compliance Test Board and OMA test pattern. Use of four 1’s and four 0’s in sequence in the PRBS^9 is an acceptable alternative. SFF-8431 Rev 4.1
4. LOS is an open collector output. Should be pulled up with 4.7kΩ – 10kΩ on the host board. Normal operation is logic 0; loss of signal is logic 1. Maximum pull-up voltage is 5.5V
