FAQs

Transceivers vs. AOC

           What is a Transceiver?

  • A transceiver is a standalone device that transmits and receives data over fiber optic cables, offering customizable connectivity for your network.

           What is an AOC?

  • An AOC is a pre-assembled cable with integrated transceivers at both ends, designed for a complete, ready-to-use optical connection.
  • Offers freedom to adapt with a variety of fiber optic cable types and lengths (from under 100m to up to 2km), ideal for scaling telecom or metro/long-haul setups.
  • Provides a plug-and-play solution with integrated transceivers, simplifying installation for data centers or HPC environments.
  • Allows replacement of only the transceiver or cable if an issue arises, saving time and reducing maintenance costs.
  • Features a sealed design that protects against dust and contamination, enhancing reliability with minimal maintenance.
  • Optical transceivers are designed to be interoperable, allowing for greater flexibility in multi-vendor environments. Best suited for applications needing versatility over longer distances (over 100m) or frequent cable changes.

 

 
  • Offers cost-effective performance for short-reach connections (under 100m), helping you save on deployment costs in high-density scenarios like AI/ML racks.

 

 

 

How to Select the Right Solution

  • For flexibility and scalability in dynamic or long-distance setups (e.g., telecom, enterprise networks), transceivers provide the adaptability to meet changing needs.
  • For simplicity and cost savings in high-density, short-reach environments (e.g., data centers, HPC), AOCs deliver reliable performance with minimal setup effort.

TE Connectivity offers both options to support your network’s unique demands, helping you achieve optimal performance and efficiency.
