The high speed QSFP Active Copper Cable assemblies

QSFP Active Copper Cable play an important role in enterprise and storage applications due to the confined space and air-flow requirements in data centers and long reaches (up to 30 meters) required to make some of the rack-to-rack connections. Because active cables can facilitate thin cable gauges, a tighter bend radius results, which can give cables in these applications better routability and improved airflow.Fiberon’s QSFP Active 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 Active Copper Cable 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 Active Copper Cable. 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
