Fiberon’s FDR QSFP+ passive copper cables provide robust connections for leading edge 56 Gb/s systems. They are designed to be fully compatible in form factor and optical/electrical connections according to the QSFP Multi- Source Agreement.
QSFP+ (Quad SFP+) connectors provide four channels of data in one pluggable interface. Each channel is capable of transferring data at 14.2Gbps and supports a total of aggregate 56Gbps as specified for QSFP+. These interconnects have three times the density of SFP+ interconnects (MSA) and have been designed to meet the harshest external operating conditions including temperature, humidity and EMI interference.
FDR Copper QSFP+assemblies are offered in different wire gauges (AWG) depending on length.
| Wire Gauge | Cable Length |
|---|---|
| 30AWG | ≤ 1Meter |
| 28AWG | ≤ 2Meters |
| 26AWG | ≤ 3Meters |
| 24AWG | ≤4Meters |
