Economic solution for within rack, or rack-to-rack applications
Characteristics
- Compatible with industry standard QSFP cages +Switches
- EEPROM signature can be customized
- QSFP+cable assemblies are hot swappable
- The programmed EEPROM signature enables the host to differentiate between a copper cable assembly and a fiber optic module
- Low power consumption assists in making the passive copper cable assembly an economic solution for within rack, or rack-to-rack applications
Application
- 40G Ethernet
- Infiniband QDR
- 4G/8G/10G Fiber Channel
- High Performance Computing Clusters
- High End Servers
- Metro Network Switch/Cross Connect
Fiberon’s QSFP+copper cable assemblies are a low cost alternative for short reach 4X applications. They are designed to be fully compatible in form factor and optical/electrical connections according to the QSFP Multi- Source Agreement.
QSFP+(Quad SFP+) connectors provide four channels of data in one pluggable interface. Each channel is capable of transferring data at 10Gbps and supports a total of aggregate 40Gbps as specified for QSFP+. These interconnects have three times the density of SFP+ interconnects (MSA) and have been designed to meet the harshest external operating conditions including temperature, humidity and EMI interference.
Standard Copper QSFP+assemblies are offered in different wire gauges (AWG) depending on length.
| Wire Gauge | Cable Diameter | Mini Outer Radius |
Cable Length |
|---|---|---|---|
| (mm) | (mm) | (m) | |
| 30AWG | 6.5 | 32.5 | 0,5 ~ 3 |
| 28AWG | 7.5 | 37.5 | 4 ~ 5 |
| 26AWG | 8.8 | 44 | 5 ~ 6 |
| 24AWG | 9.8 | 49 | 6 ~ 15 |
