Complete Information About Qsfp Optical Cable
An optical cable consists of an optical fiber which is coated with a layer of resin and is surrounded by a jacket layer made of plastic. This layer provides extra strength and does not affect the working properties of fiber. The fiber is thin and transparent made of either precision plastic or glass to properly transmit the light signal. These cables transmit large amounts of information or high bandwidth communication. These optical cables are impervious to EMI, can be buried in trenches, installed in submarines or attached to aerial telephone poles. It is essential to protect the fiber within the optical cable from water because the hydrogen and hydroxyl ions within water will distribute into the fiber and reduce the strength of the fiber.
QSFP is the short form of Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable. It is a solid, hot-pluggable transceiver used for data communication applications. It provides an interface between a network device and a fiber optic cable, usually with MTP or MPO connectors. The QSFP specification supports Infiniband, Ethernet and Fibre Channel with different data rate options. The QSFP modules increase the port-density by nearly 3 times as compared to SFP modules. In addition,
Qsfp Optical cables also have high speed data rates and support Ethernet, Infiniband, Fibre Channel and other applications. One can buy them from various reputable online stores. These cables are reasonably priced and available in different lengths. The various types of
QSFP cables are:
1.QSFP/QSFP+ Active Optical Cables-The cables are in lengths up to 100m. The QSFP/QSFP+ compliant connectors with 4 integrated 10.0 Gbps optical transceivers which ensure s compatibility with the modern QSFP and QSFP+ enabled hardware in datacenters and HPC clusters.
2.QSFP-QSFP 40G Copper Cables- The QSFP interface combines four high-speed 10GB channels into a low-profile cable package with 3 times the port density of standard SFP. These cables are 100% tested and are perfect for bandwidth intense applications such as QDR Infiniband, SAS, 40GB Ethernet and Fibre Channel.
3.QSFP QDR Infiniband Cables- The cables are in great demand and available in 0.5 to 7m lengths using copper cable. These cables combine with the latest SFF-8436 QSFP 4X connector design with 8-pair Spectra-Strip or Madison cable for better signal integrity in Infiniband applications.
4.QSFP to 4 x SFP+ Splitter Cables- These cables offer IT professionals a reasonably priced interconnect solution for merging 40G QSFP and 10G SFP+ enabled host adapters, servers and switches. The QSFP to 4 x SFP+ Splitter Cables helps one to bridge emerging 40GB QSFP equipment with mainstream 10-Gigabit SFP+ network gear.
5.QSFP+ Cables- QSFP+ Cables integrate Amphenol, Leoni, or Madison high speed cable, providing a flat frequency response to 20 Giga Hertz in an ultra-thin 30 AWG package. QSFP+ connectors are built with an extended EMI rail to meet up 40 GB Ethernet specifications and are reverse compatible with QSFP ports.
QSFP+ Loopback Modules- These cables support data rates in excess of 40GB per second; QSFP+ Loopback Modules allows a fast and efficient means of testing QSFP+ ports on the modern 40GB Ethernet enabled equipment and on a wide array of QDR Infiniband supported equipment.
