Optical (QSFP) Quad Small Form-factor pluggable Cables
40Gbps (QDR/DDR/SDR)

QSFP cables provide a high density, high bandwidth, cost effective solution for switches, routers, HBA's, high performance computing and mass storage sub-systems. QSFP cables are designed for data rates up to 40Gb/s supporting Fibre Channel, Ethernet, SDH/SONET and InfiniBand standards.

Scale out your high-performance computing cluster with high-performance optical cables with the maximum aggregate bandwidth of 40 Gbps. These cables provide benefits over copper cables designed for InfiniBand QSFP+ SDR/DDR/QDR and 40Gb Ethernet applications including performance at distances up to 100 meters.

These Cables support

  • UP TO 40 GBPS DATA RATE
    • Including QSFP+ SDR (aggregate 10 Gbps), QSFP+ DDR (aggregate 20 Gbps), QSFP+ QDR (aggregate 40 Gbps), and 4 x 10.3 Gbps (40 Gigabit Ethernet) applications


  • UP TO 100 METERS IN LENGTH AT 40 GBPS
    • •Enables new architectures for HPC and data center clusters


  • SMALL PROFILE IS EASY TO HANDLE AND MINIMIZES AIR FLOW
    • Light weight (10 m cable weighs ~ 180g)
    • Flexible cable with 35mm bend radius and cable diameter of 3.3mm
    • Profile maximizes air flow relative to copper cables to reduce cooling cost and save energy


  • QSFP FORM-FACTOR FOR ENHANCED ELECTRICAL/MECHANICAL PERFORMANCE
    • Improved signal integrity relative to CX4 connector
    • Improved connection stability and ruggedness relative to CX4


  • LOW INCREMENTAL POWER CONSUMPTION RELATIVE TO PASSIVE COPPER CABLES
    • 0.9 W typical per end (1.8 W end to end)


  • LOW LATENCY
    • Latency compatible to passive copper cable solution
    • Low electromagnetic interference


  • ROHS COMPLIANT
