Provide Next-Generation Performance in a High-Density Cable - Tripp Lite's New Active Optical Cables allow the Interconnection of 100 G Equipment over Long Distances

CHICAGO, Jan. 28, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Tripp Lite's AOCs are available in two series. The N28H-series QSFP28 cables connect compatible switches, servers and other networking equipment at speeds up to 100 Gbps. The N28F-series QSFP+ cables connect compatible 40 Gbps devices.

Along with the speed needed for high-bandwidth applications, these cables also deliver ease of installation. Ergonomic push-pull tab connectors provide quick connections or disconnections using one hand, even in hard-to-reach spaces. Installation is hot-pluggable to minimize network disruptions during upgrades or replacements. A plenum-rated OFNP jacket enables Tripp Lite's AOCs to be used to connect network components in drop ceilings, walls and ducts.

Another advantage of the AOCs is energy efficiency: they consume less power than optical transceivers. In addition, they are not susceptible to electromagnetic interference that can corrupt data.

"With global IP traffic growing because of the Internet of Things, cloud computing and other bandwidth-intensive applications, data center administrators need cost-efficient solutions for connecting faster network equipment,"

"These AOCs are ideal where large numbers of cables are used to interconnect switches and high-end network equipment, particularly when a leaf-and-spine architecture is used," said David Posner, Director of Product Marketing, Connectivity. "In addition to providing a longer run, they are lightweight and easier to handle than direct-attach copper cables."

The new cables are available in lengths of 1 meter to 30 meters. Custom lengths are also configurable to meet the user's specifications.
