e. Long transmitt distance;
f. No pollution for the connection port;
g. Good stability.

3. Application for AOC:

a. AOC applied on the Switches:
40G QSFP+ AOC to 4*10G SFP+ AOC can connect 2pcs 40G Switches, and it can also connect the 10G switches with the 10G Network Card:


b. AOC applied on the engine room:
AOC can be used for the data center switch and chassis connecting under 5-30m, if under 5m, the best choice is for DAC,
