AOC (Active Optical Cable) is a fiber optic data transmission cable with a built-in photoelectric conversion module. It is mainly designed for high-bandwidth, long-distance, and interference-resistant scenarios and is widely used in data centers, high-performance computing, cloud computing, AI computing clusters, and 5G bearer networks.
