QSFP+ based active optical cable assemblies support an aggregate bandwidth of up to 56Gb/s
The XLerate High Speed I/O active optical cable assembly is fully compliant to the Infiniband FDR (Fourteen Data Rate – 14 Gb/s per channel) specification, and is now on the Infiniband Trade Association (IBTA) Integrator’s List.
The XLerate-4X QSFP+ FDR cables are used in applications that require greater aggregate bandwidth of up to 56Gb/s, exceeding the capability of QDR QSFP+ cables that can only deliver 40Gb/s aggregate bandwidth with using 10Gb/s signals per channel. The XLerate-4X QSFP+ FDR cables from FCI are available in both direct attach copper (DAC) as well as active optical variants.
The connector interface and EEPROM are fully compliant to the SFF-8436 specification and these QSFP+ cables deliver four times the port bandwidth than the SFP+ systems deliver. The connector consists of an SMT 38-position edge card connector (10Gb compliant), a PCB-mounted EMI metal cage, a diecast heat sink with mounting clip and copper-based passive and active optical cable assemblies.
