40GBASE QSFP+ Solution

Feb 28, 2012

Product Overview

The 40GBASE QSFP+ (Quad Small Form-Factor Pluggable Plus) modules offer customers a wide variety of high-density 40 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity options for data center, high-performance computing networks, enterprise core and distribution layers, and service provider transport applications.

Below are the four Typical Applications of 40G QSFP+:

1.  40GBASE-SR4 QSFP+ transceiver module  

It can be connected with MPO fiber optic cable or MPO breakout patchcords:
● 40GBASE-SR4 QSFP+ transceiver module with MPO Cable
● 40GBASE-SR4 QSFP+ transceiver module with MPO breakout to four pairs of duplex breakout cable.
     
   
2.  40GBASE QSFP+ to Four 10GBASE SFP+ Breakout Cable

The QSFP+ (40G) Copper Cable can be connected with Four SFP+ (10G) Copper Cables.


Typical application
QSFP+ to four SFP+ copper direct-attach breakout cables are suitable for very short distances and offer a highly cost-effective way to connect within racks and across adjacent racks. These breakout cables connect to a 40G QSFP+ port switch on one end and to four 10G SFP+ ports switch on the other end.

10Gtek currently offers passive cables in lengths of 1, 3 and 5 meters.
   

Enhanced Application
Replace QSFP AOC application by adding OEO convertor and SFP+ transceiver.
   

3.  40GBASE QSFP+ to QSFP+ direct-attach Cable


QSFP+ to QSFP+ copper direct-attach cables are suitable for very short distances and offer a highly costeffective way to establish a 40-Gigabit link between QSFP+ ports switches within racks and acrossadjacent racks.
10Gtek currently offers passive cables in lengths of 1, 3 and 5 meters.
