Amphenol intends to fill a void in the marketplace with its new QSFP to SFP+ Passive Copper Splitter Cable offering. The proliferation of 10-Gigabit Ethernet network architecture has excelled well beyond industry expectations. However, network performance will undoubtedly suffer without an even broader data-pipe present on the back-end to help aggregate the masses of data. The QSFP (Quad-SFP) interface helps perform this critical function; capable of hosting 4 x 10-Gbps data lanes in a high-density package not much larger than a single-lane QSFP to SFP+ port. Amphenol’s QSFP to SFP+ hybrid cable solution bridges the gap between two generations of high-speed communications standards (10G and 40G). 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 QSFP to 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.
