lane QSFP Active Copper Cable cabling assemblies

Siemon, the network infrastructure specialist, today introduced its new line of four lane QSFP Active Copper Cable cabling assemblies, designed to support interconnect applications such as high-performance computing (HPC), enterprise networking and network storage systems. http://www.fiberyes.com/qsfp-qsfp-active-copper These high-speed interconnects are a part of Siemon’s Moray? Active Optical Cabling (AOC) product family and expand Siemon’s extensive portfolio of copper and fibre data centre cabling solutions.

The Moray QSFP Active Copper Cable assemblies incorporate the lowest power transceiver in the market that typically requires 780mW by utilising Silicon CMOS Photonics technology, which features an integrated opto-electronic chip with a directly attached fibre and a micro-packaged laser.   This “Fibre-to-the-Chip” technology enables Siemon’s Moray active optical cabling to break the cost barriers while decreasing the number of components in the AOC and improving its reliability when compared with existing vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) and multi-mode fibre solutions.  Unlike traditional optics that utilise VCSELs and multi-mode fibre for short connections, Moray’s single chip transceivers support any distance from one metre to 4,000 metres for inter- and intra-building applications.
