QSFP+ A0C extremely assembly and transceiver provide

QSFP+ A0C extremely low power consumption of only 0.78W per cable end improves overall data center power consumption and thermal efficiency. AOCs reduced cable bulk compared to larger diameter copper cabling enable deployment of additional ports for increased number of AOCs per system, resulting in more connectivity options and total system cost savings. Four bi-directional optical data links per end each operate at data rates from 1.0 to 10.325 Gbps and are compatible with multiple protocols including InfiniBand single data rates (SDR), dual data rates (DDR) and quad data rates (QDR), Ethernet systems (10 and 40 Gbps), Fibre Channel (8 and 10 Gbps), SAS (6 Gbps).Avago’s AFBR-79Q4xACyyZ QSFP+ A0C cable assembly and AFBR-79Q4Z transceiver utilizes multimode fiber using a wavelength of 850 nm. The electrical interface uses a 38-contact edge type connector. Additionally, the four-channel pluggable AOC and transceiver incorporate Avago’s integrated circuit and VCSEL technology to provide reliable long life, high performance, and consistent serviceAs the bandwidth needs have increased, copper interconnects are becoming less and less attractive due to the bulk of the connectors, cables, electromagnetic interference (EMI) issues, weight management, and reduced distance capability.
