Ethernet networks using existing QSFP to SFP+ Cable based

With the rapid evolution of high-speed networking standards, Genuine Amphenol QSFP to (4) SFP+ Splitter Cables allows one to bridge emerging 40-Gigabit QSFP equipment with mainstream 10-Gigabit SFP+ network gear.QSFP to SFP+ Cable based cabling. Similarly, Ethernet switches with 40Gb/s QSFP ports can connect to servers with 10Gb/s Ethernet NIC ports using QSA. Mellanox QSA conforms to the SFF-8431 SFP+ and SFF-8436 QSFP connector standards and is 100 percent tested to strict quality requirements. The adapter is built in QSFP form factor with a receptacle for SFP+ cable connector.QSFP to SFP+ Cable equipment must be connected. A common installation method is to plug the single 40G QSFP channel of the splitter cable into the Top-of-Rack (ToR) switch’s available 40-Gbps QSFP uplink port. The splitter cable’s four individual 10G SFP+ channels can then be routed to a wide range of compatible gear; including 10GbE-SFP+ rack-mount servers, blade servers, blade switches, NIC’s, and Direct Attach storage arrays.
