In modern data centers, cloud computing, and communication networks, high speed, stability, and compatibility are the core criteria for choosing connection solutions. ATGBICS is a brand that provides compatible optical network solutions, with its products covering a range of data center interconnection components such as network transceivers, fiber optic cables, direct attach cables (DAC/AOC), and more, which can be used for high-speed data transmission between switches, servers, and storage systems. This article will discuss ATGBICS compatible optical cables and their applications in data center interconnection, and will especially provide selection suggestions and references for domestic alternative solutions, offering a practical perspective for technical selection and procurement.
An Overview of ATGBICS Product and Optical Fiber Interconnection Solutions
ATGBICS is a brand under Approved Technology Ltd that provides compatible network connection solutions, including optical transceivers, direct-attach cables, jumpers, and a variety of high-speed interconnection components. Its product line covers flexible data transmission components from 1Gbps to 800Gbps, meeting various needs such as core switching in data centers and edge aggregation.
Brand characteristics include:
Broad compatibility: ATGBICS is compatible with a variety of mainstream switches and network devices, including systems with Broadcom®, Intel®, Nvidia® and other main control chips.
Rich interconnection components: In addition to optical module, it also includes passive/active direct-connection optical cables, adapter cards, optical jumpers, etc., which can build a full connection solution from inside to between racks.
• Pluggable Standard: Many products are based on SFP/SFP+/QSFP/OSFP and other standards, which can be seamlessly replaced and used in standard optical module interfaces.
For example, common ATGBICS SFP transceivers (such as 1061705850-02-C) provide standard LC interfaces, 1310nm wavelength, and support 1.25Gbps transmission, and can be used as an interconnection solution for long-distance single-mode fiber optics.
Part Two: Selection, Compatibility, Alternative Solutions Reference and Recommendations
In the actual deployment of data center optical cables and transceivers, the following points are important considerations for selection and alternative solutions:
Protocol and interface match
Ensure that the optical cable or module protocol is consistent with the device, for example:
SFP/SFP+、QSFP28、OSFP standards;
Corresponding transmission rate (such as 10G/25G/100G/400G)
Compatible with IEEE and MSA standards.
There may be subtle differences in the automatic negotiation and electrical performance of equipment from different manufacturers; it is recommended to conduct tests and verification when necessary.
Compatibility verification and verification methods
Confirm the ATGBICS compatibility list and actual device support before purchasing.
Test the optical performance and link stability in the experimental environment first.
Consider long-term operating environment (such as temperature, number of insertions and extractions, EMC, etc.).
国产替代方案参考（建议）
With the development of the domestic network equipment and communication module ecosystem, an increasing number of reliable "domestic compatible optical modules/cables" can be used as alternative solutions:.
• Domestic optical module brands: for example, SFP/SFP+/QSFP developed by domestic optoelectronic enterprises.
Domestic Direct Attached Cable (DAC/AOC): with local supply and technical support advantages.
Standard compatibility verification mechanism: Prefer solutions that have passed the MSA standard or been verified by the laboratories of large switch manufacturers.
Recommend conducting multi-dimensional tests on domestic alternatives (such as transmission error performance, insertion and removal life, power consumption, etc.) and referring to sample or evaluation cycle results before mass production and deployment.
ATGBICS provides optical fiber and compatible module solutions with flexibility and diversity in the field of data center interconnects, suitable for a wide range of switching, storage, and server interconnection needs. Whether it is to build a core network backbone or to achieve high-bandwidth transmission between racks, reasonable selection and compatibility verification are crucial. At the same time, domestic substitute solutions are gradually maturing, and through scientific testing and local support, they can become a worthy choice for interconnect components.
