QSFP+ AOC limitations that must be considered

Active Optical Cables for CX4 and QSFP+ AOC are the logical evolution to Amphenol’s popular copper line-up of high-speed cable assemblies, according to Nick Blas, Product Marketing Manager for Amphenol Cables on Demand. “There are upwards of half-a-million Amphenol brand Passive Copper Cables deployed worldwide for CX4 and QSFP/QSFP+ applications,” he said. Mr. Blas noted that despite the popularity and cost-effectiveness of using copper-based interconnect systems, there are distinct design limitations that must be considered.Perhaps the most critical design limitation of copper interconnect technology is cable length. Mr. Blas emphasized, “Amphenol’s Passive Copper CX4 Cables, operating at 10-Gigabits per second, are designed to operate at distances no longer than 15m (50 feet) in length. Passive Copper QSFP/QSFP+ Cables, operating at quadruple that data-rate (40-Gigabits per second), are designed to operate at distances of 7m (23 feet) max.

10G SFP+ cables offers a low cost SFP+ solution

The dramatic growth in bandwidth requirements has led to the increasing worldwide use of higher-performance servers.  This in turn has led to the expanding need for 10 Gigabit Ethernet, which is rapidly gaining traction within data centers.  IT managers are now faced with the challenge of selecting the appropriate 10-gigabit physical media, as 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GE) is offered in two broad categories, optical and copper, with the latter being the most commonly used means for connectivity in data centers.  This article addresses the tradeoffs between the effective choices in copper connectivity 10GBase-T and SFP+ Direct Attach.10GTEK's 10G SFP+ cables are suitable for very short distances and offer a highly cost-effective way to connect within racks and across adjacent racks. 10G SFP+ cables offers a low cost SFP+ solution. SFP+ directly attached twinax cable assemblies supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet, 10 Fibre Channel, and other industry standards.This cable is available at lengths from 0.5m to 15m.
