DESCIPTION

 Mini SAS HD Active Optical Cable is fully compliant to SAS 2.1 and SAS 3.0 industry standards as well as the SFF -8644 interface standard. The managed interface includes connection discovery functionality, I2C bus communication,  and the capability to customize labeling and MCU memory map extensions. Compared to

 

conventional copper cables, longer, lighter, and flexible optical cables enable the ease of complicated data-center cablings. High-quality of 850nm VCSELs and PIN PDs are utilized in the AOC cables, with superior signal integrity and bit-error-rate performance, which enables reliable operation performance.
