The Avago AFBR-2CARxxZ Active Optical Cable (AOC) is part of a family of SFP+ products to serve 10 Gb Ethernet (10 GbE) applications. The letters “xx” of the part number AFBR-2CARxxZ denote the cable length in meters. The AFBR-2CARxxZ enables 10GbE equipment designs with very high port density based on the electrical and mechanical specification enhancements to the well known SFP specifications developed by the SFF committee. The specifications are referred to as “SFP+” to represent the enhancements over previous SFP specifications. The SFP+ AOCs have a cable length up to 20 m. These AOCs can be used as an alternative solution to SFP+ passive and active copper cables, while providing improved signal integrity, longer reach, superior electromagnetic immunity and better bit error rate performance.
