Can AOC use single-mode fiber

A: Almost all AOC cables use OM3 or OM4 multimode fiber. OM4 is the current standard for 100G-800G AOC, supporting longer distances. It combines electronics transceivers with fiber optics, surpassing the speed and reliability of copper-based connections. AOCs are flexible, lightweight, and nonbulky, making them ideal for use in data centers. An AOC cable is a type of interconnect that uses optical fiber media inside the cable, but the transceivers (optical–electrical conversion) are integrated into its ends. there is no passive fiber only; electronics are built in. For network engineers. Multimode is less expensive than single mode fiber. It uses electrical-to-optical conversion on the cable...
