QSFP Copper Cable Assemblies
40Gb/s & 56Gb/s aggregate bandwidth applications
IEEE802.3ba & Infiniband QDR & FDR
DESCRIPTION
FCI’s QSFP (Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable) connector, cage and cable assemblies are designed to
meet emerging data center and high performance
computing application needs for a high density cabling interconnect system capable of delivering aggregate data bandwidths of 40Gb/s & 56 Gb/s. This
interconnect system is fully compliant with existing
industry standard specifications such as the QSFP
MSA and IBTA (InfiniBand Trade Association). The
QSFP cables support the bandwidth transmission
requirements as defined by IEEE 802.3ba (40 Gb/s)
and Infiniband QDR ( 4x10 Gb/s per channel) and FDR
(4x14 Gb/s per channel) specifications.
The 38 position SMT mounted edge card connector
and the cable assembly’s mating printed circuit card
has been designed for the higher-bandwidth signal
integrity requirements associated with 10Gb/s per
channel transmission. The metal EMI cage along with
the rugged diecast covers on the cable assembly assure proper EMI shielding effectiveness and termination. FCI offers passive cable assemblies that enables
the use of a copper based interconnect system for
applications with cable lengths up to 6 meters (10G)
and 5 meters (14G). The cage offering also includes a
heat sink and mounting clip to address applications
where module heat dissipation is required.
