All Active Optical Cable

High-Speed and Versatile Connectivity for Modern Networks

Overview

Active Optical Cables (AOCs) are essential building blocks in today’s networking infrastructure, designed to deliver high bandwidth, low latency, and reliable connectivity across short-to-medium distances.

By integrating optical transceivers and multimode fiber into a single assembly, AOCs simplify deployment while reducing power consumption compared to traditional optics.

Our collection covers 10G through 400G AOCs, enabling seamless connections inside racks and across rows in enterprise networks, data centers, HPC clusters, and cloud platforms.

Standard lengths are available up to 30 meters (98 ft), while custom builds can extend to 100 m (328 ft) or even 300 m (984 ft) depending on the data rate, ensuring flexibility for any deployment.

Wide Compatibility Across Leading Vendors

All NS Active Optical Cables are rigorously tested for multi-vendor interoperability, ensuring smooth integration with switches, servers, and adapters from:
Cisco, Huawei, Juniper, Arista, NVIDIA/Mellanox, Intel, Dell, Extreme, HPE Aruba, Fortinet, and many more.

This universal compatibility gives you confidence that your AOCs will function flawlessly within diverse network environments, without the worry of vendor lock-in.

Comprehensive Product Range

Our AOC portfolio spans all major speeds and form factors, tailored to a variety of applications:

• 10G / 25G AOC (SFP+ / SFP28):
  Cost-effective solutions for server-to-switch connections and enterprise access networks.

• 40G AOC (QSFP+):
  Ideal for switch-to-switch links or 40G-to-4×10G breakout connections in data centers.

• 100G AOC (QSFP28):
  The mainstream choice for modern data centers, supporting high-speed aggregation and spine-leaf architectures.

• 200G AOC (QSFP56):
  Designed for advanced workloads in cloud networks and AI-driven environments.

• 400G AOC (QSFP56-DD):
  Built for hyperscale data centers and HPC clusters requiring ultra-high bandwidth and efficiency.

Lengths are available in stock up to 30 m (98 ft), with custom builds extending to 100 m (328 ft) or 300 m (984 ft) depending on the speed and deployment needs.
