Product Facts
• 4 transmit and 4 receive channels at
5 Gb/s and 10 Gb/s per channel
• Industry standard (SFF-8470) electrical
connector (aka InfiniBand 4X, IB 4X,
CX4*, Fibre Channel) and QSFP
Connector
• Internally terminated
optics — no optical connector to clean
• Differential data I/O per InfiniBand
version 1.2.1
• Asynchronous, internally AC coupled
inputs and outputs
• Passively cooled design — low thermal
resistance heat path from chip to
connector shell
• Small diameter cable (3.0mm)
• Light weight
• Tight bend radius
* CX4 available in 5 Gb/s only.
Tyco Electronics’ PARALIGHT active optical
cable assemblies use state-of-the-art
technology to provide cost effective high
data throughput interconnects. The cables
incorporate E/O and O/E conversion built
into the connector shell to yield a dramatic
improvement in PCB real estate utilization.
Using 850 nm VCSEL technology, the
5 Gb/s active cable assemblies will operate
over a data rate of 2.5 to 5 Gb/s per lane
with an aggregate data rate of 20 Gb/s in
each direction. The 10 Gb/s active cable
assemblies will operate over a data rate of
2.5 to 10 Gb/s per lane with an aggregate
data rate of 40 Gb/s in each direction.
They are available in lengths up to 100
meters using 50 micron fiber. Longer
lengths available upon request. The EOE
circuitry is designed for use with 8B/10B
encoded data streams, such as InfiniBand,
Fibre Channel, and XAUI.
QSFP connector style supports
connections for an I2C serial interface,
which can be used to identify the product
and performance capabilities.
