Factory-direct high-bandwidth active optical assemblies engineered for ultra-low latency, energy efficiency, and total EMI immunity in modern hyperscale deployments.
As Senegal solidifies its position as the premier technology and financial hub of West Africa—driven by the flagship Parc des Technologies Numériques (PTN) in Diamniadio and major subsea landings including 2Africa, ACE, and MainOne—the demand for robust network infrastructure has reached unprecedented levels.
Modern data centers and enterprise backbones across the Dakar metropolitan area require high-throughput interconnections capable of handling dense multi-terabit traffic flows. Active Optical Cables (AOC) have emerged as the indispensable cornerstone for short-reach, high-speed rack-to-rack and switch-to-switch architectures, completely supplanting legacy copper solutions in performance-critical environments.
Dakar's distinct coastal environment presents severe challenges to high-frequency metallic copper connections (DAC):
Engineered with state-of-the-art VCSEL array technology and integrated optical transceiver engines, Kocent Optec AOCs deliver seamless plug-and-play high-density connectivity.
Featuring low-power VCSEL laser arrays operating at 850nm paired with PIN photo-detector arrays. Integrated DSP (Digital Signal Processing) chips guarantee PAM4 signal integrity across multi-gigabit speeds.
Custom-designed micro-heatsinks and low-power transceiver architectures reduce operational power consumption to under 2.5W per end (100G) and 8W per end (400G), slashing data center PUE ratios.
Built with Low-Smoke Zero-Halogen (LSZH) outer jacketing resistant to high ambient temperatures, humidity, and UV exposure. Ideal for West African infrastructure requirements.

Expert answers on Active Optical Cables, custom OEM options, compatibility, and logistics for network architects in Senegal.
AOC cables utilize fiber-optic technology inside the assembly, making them immune to electromagnetic interference (EMI) and far more resistant to environmental humidity and coastal salt-spray degradation found in coastal West Africa. AOCs are also 75% lighter, thinner, offer tighter bend radii, and support up to 100m distances compared to DAC’s 5m limit.
Yes. Every AOC cable manufactured by Kocent Optec is EEPROM-coded and custom-programmed for 100% interoperability with major OEM brands, including Cisco, Huawei, Juniper, Arista, Dell, and HP, ensuring zero compatibility alarms during switch handshakes.
Standard OEM manufacturing turnaround is 5–7 working days. Express air freight to Blaise Diagne International Airport (DSS) in Dakar typically delivers within 4–6 business days, complete with customized commercial invoices and HS-code documentation for smooth customs clearance.
Absolute flexibility. We offer customized AOC lengths from 0.5m to 100m, along with breakout options such as 400G QSFP-DD to 2x200G QSFP56 AOC, 100G QSFP28 to 4x25G SFP28 AOC, and 40G QSFP+ to 4x10G SFP+ AOC.
