Wired for Speed: How Syrotech AOC, DAC & MPO Cables Power Modern Networks

As data volumes increase, the demand for fast and reliable connectivity has never been higher. Whether it’s a data center, enterprise network or cloud backbone, every millisecond counts. Syrotech’s AOC (Active Optical Cables), DAC (Direct Attach Cables) and MPO Patch Cables are engineered to meet this challenge—offering high-performance, scalable links that streamline short-to-medium distance networking without compromising on speed or reliability.

DAC: Low-Latency Copper for Short Distances

Syrotech DAC cables offer a cost-effective, low-power solution for high-speed connectivity within or between adjacent racks. Built using passive copper, these cables are ideal for short-distance applications like top-of-rack (ToR) switching.

• QSFP to QSFP DAC

Perfect for 40G and 100G links between switches, Syrotech’s QSFP DACs are compliant with IEEE 802.3ba and MSA SFF-8436, supporting up to 10.3125 Gbps per channel. With rugged connectors and pull-to-release latching, they’re built for high-density data center environments.

• 10G+ SFP+ DAC

For lower speed links, Syrotech’s 10G+ DAC cables support 1G to 10G, with hot-pluggable SFP footprints and ultra-low power draw (<0.2W). These are ideal for intra-rack connectivity in enterprise environments that need flexibility and energy efficiency.

AOC: Lightweight Fiber for Extended Reach

Where copper hits its limits, Syrotech AOCs deliver high-performance optical connectivity using fiber, enabling longer distances and improved EMI performance.

• QSFP/QSFP28 AOC

Designed for 40G and 100G optical connections, Syrotech’s QSFP AOCs are hot-pluggable and RoHS compliant – reaching upto 100 meters, using VCSEL array technology over multimode fiber for consistent performance.

• 10G+ SFP+ AOC

These cables are ideal for SFP+ module-to-module connections with reach up to 150 meters (OM3). Built with active circuitry, they reduce signal loss and EMI while maintaining low power consumption and full compliance with MSA SFF-8431/8432.

MPO Patch Cables: High-Density Fiber, Simplified

For environments pushing toward 40G/100G aggregation, Syrotech’s MPO patch cables provide fast, high-density connections with Multi-Fiber Push-On connectors. Supporting SR4 applications, they’re perfect for rapidly scaling fiber backbones in modern data centers.

Why Syrotech?

Whether you need copper DACs for affordability, AOCs for flexible long-distance fiber, or MPOs for dense fiber deployments— Syrotech offers tested, compliant, and reliable solutions. Every cable is engineered to reduce latency, simplify deployment, and meet global data center standards.

With a wide portfolio of interconnects, Syrotech makes it easier for Indian ISPs, integrators, and enterprises to build future-ready networks—without the complexity.
