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.
