Difficulties due to Manufacturer Coding of Transceivers and Cables
Many large manufacturers rely on a special software-side and partly also firmware-side coding of their products to exclude third-party products from their system, which leads to the fact that Transceivers, Active Optical Cables (AOC) and Direct Attach Cables (DAC) of other manufacturers only work partially or do not work at all. On the one hand this serves to secure sales, since other products are consistently excluded, and on the other hand it makes the handling of hardware in heterogeneous networks much more complicated. Through the use of switches, servers, network cards, routers, load balancers, media converters, camera systems, switchgear, etc., with pluggable ports, today's network infrastructures are much more versatile than before and the use of different manufacturer systems in a network a widespread situation. As a result, purchasing and technology often have to pool their knowledge in order to find the right components for connecting the systems from the respective manufacturers. At CBO you get interconnection solutions for all systems from a single source with the appropriate software and firmware programming for the hardware you use for all common manufacturers. Thanks to our large code database, we are able to offer the right solution for your infrastructure for over 400,000 hardware systems. Ask now for a test sample.
BlueOptics solutions for all form factors and special solutions
The programming of Transceivers, AOC and DAC cables is possible for all common form factors and for any bandwidth. All systems that have a pluggable port and that are connected with these components can be linked with BlueOptics Transceivers and AOC products, as well as BlueLAN DAC cables. It is only important to make sure that your hardware supports the corresponding specifications of the product according to the data sheet. If this is not the case, CBO also offers special solutions for many manufacturer systems, which are designed for longer distances, work on different wavelengths or offer different connections than the few solutions the original manufacturer can offer. For the connection of different systems, for which there is no original product, CBO can for example offer special DAC or AOC solutions for many vendors. Here, both ends of the cables are specially adapted to the hardware of the manufacturers. To check whether your hardware is suitable for this purpose, please ask our sales team for your individual solution now.
