The HPE Active Optical Cables (AOCs) provide the bandwidth to meet the exponential data growth in Telco, e-Commerce and high performance computing (HPC). The HPE Active Optical Cables (AOCs) are much lighter and consume less power than traditional copper cables. They are ideal cable solutions for high–density data center and high performance computing applications.

What is new supporting point:
Cost-effective alternative to transceivers for short distance fiber optic connection.
Smaller bend radius, lower power consumption and lower weight compared to DAC.
