Ethernet networks using existing QSFP to CX4 based cabling

flexibility for network installations The Quad to Single Small Form Factor Pluggable Adapter (QSFP to SFP+ adapter or QSA) is the world’s first solution for the QSFP to CX4 conversion challenge Similarly, Ethernet switches with 40Gb/s QSFP ports can connect to servers with 10Gb/s Ethernet NIC ports using QSA. Mellanox QSA conforms to the and QSFP to CX4 connector standards and is 100 percent tested to strict quality requirements. The adapter is built in QSFP form factor The Quad Small Form-Factor Pluggable Plus (QSFP+) interface provides a low-profile, high-bandwidth, low power-consumption interconnect solution for HPC computer network and large data centers. They are commonly used  The passive copper cables are compliant with the In? niBand Architecture, spec cations and provide connectivity between devices using QSFP to CX4 ports.a CXP cable assembly with 12 channels of bi-directional data at 10 Gbps per channel for greater bandwidth options; and AOC QSFP+ FDR, which features  Before it was acquired by Tyco, Zarlink was working on 40G implementations that were expected to be released this year.
