InterBOARD® QSFP
Active Optical Cable
QSFP (Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable)
InterBOARD® Active Optical Cable
The 4-Channel QSFP Active Optical Cable (QSFP-AOC)
provides bi-directional Electrical-to-electrical connectivity
over distances up to 100 meters using multimode optical fiber.
Each independent channel is capable of 5, 8 or 10 Gbps for
an aggregate bi-directional bandwidth of up to 40 Gbps. The
QSFP-AOC module offers an extremely compact solution for QDR
and DDR Infiniband™, 40 Gigabit Ethernet, multi-lane
PCI Express, Fibre Channel, as well as proprietary backplane
interconnections.
These cables employ Reflex Photonics’ next generation
LightABLE™ packaging technology, enabling extremely
high feature-integration and functionality. The QSFP-AOC is
designed to meet the harshest external operating conditions
including temperature, humidity and EMI interference.
Reflex Photonics hot-pluggable QSFP-AOC cables offer 4 transmit
and 4 receive independent channels operating at up to 10 Gbps
per channel.
The QSFP-AOC cable connector consists of an array of 4 850-nm
VCSELs (Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Lasers) which converts
4 parallel high-speed electrical data signals to 4 parallel
optical data outgoing signals, while simultaneously converting
4 parallel incoming optical signals to 4 parallel electrical
signals using an array of 4 850-nm PIN photodiodes. An optical
fiber ribbon cable is permanently attached to the opto-electronic
circuitry within the QSFP-AOC connector.
Highlights:
- 4 independent channels per direction
- 5, 8, or 10 Gbps per channel
- Aggregate bandwidth of up to 40 Gbps (4 x 10 Gbps) in
each direction
