CABLE ASSEMBLIES QSFP Copper Cable Assemblies 40Gb/s & 56Gb/s aggregate bandwidth applications IEEE802.3ba & Infiniband QDR & FDR DESCRIPTION FCI’s QSFP (Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable) connector, cage and cable assemblies are designed to meet emerging data center and high performance computing application needs for a high density cabling interconnect system capable of delivering aggregate data bandwidths of 40Gb/s & 56 Gb/s. This interconnect system is fully compliant with existing industry standard specifications such as the QSFP MSA and IBTA (InfiniBand Trade Association). The QSFP cables support the bandwidth transmission requirements as defined by IEEE 802.3ba (40 Gb/s) and Infiniband QDR ( 4x10 Gb/s per channel) and FDR (4x14 Gb/s per channel) specifications. The 38 position SMT mounted edge card connector and the cable assembly’s mating printed circuit card has been designed for the higher-bandwidth signal integrity requirements associated with 10Gb/s per channel transmission. The metal EMI cage along with the rugged diecast covers on the cable assembly assure proper EMI shielding effectiveness and termination. FCI offers passive cable assemblies that enables the use of a copper based interconnect system for applications with cable lengths up to 6 meters (10G) and 5 meters (14G). The cage offering also includes a heat sink and mounting clip to address applications where module heat dissipation is required. FEATURES & BENEFITS Fully compatible with IEEE802.3ba and Infiniband QDR & FDR specifications 100 ohm differential impedance system Allows for 10Gb/s & 14Gb/s per channel transmission; aggregate of 40 Gb/s & 56 Gb/stotal bandwidth Optimized PCB interface board to minimize crosstalk and insertion loss Robust diecast covers for superior EMI shielding effectiveness TARGET MARKETS / APPLICATIONS Data Servers Networked storage systems Routers External storage systems High Performance Computing (HPC) applications Data Center networking Communications Switches Routers Industry Standards InfiniBand Trade Association (IBTA) IEEE802.3ba 40Gigabit Ethernet ( 40G BASE – CR4) EEPROM for cable signature & system communications 30 AWG to 24 AWG cable sizes available RoHS compliant
