QSFP+ to SFP+ Cabling Solutions

40 Gigabit Ethernet adapters using contemporary QSFP+ ports and 1 or 10 Gigabit Ethernet networks using existing SFP or SFP+ based cabling. Similarly, Ethernet switches with 40 Gb/s QSFP ports can connect to servers with 10Gb/s Ethernet NIC ports using QSA. Sopto QSA conforms to the SFF-8431 SFP+ and SFF-8436 QSFP+ connector standards and is 100% tested to strict quality requirements. 

The adapter is built in QSFP+ form factor with a receptacle for SFP+ cable connector. QSFP+ to SFP+ splitter cables are both single-assembly (cable and tranceiver combined) and dual-assembly (cable and tranceiver separate).The direct-attach hybrid assembly's four hot-pluggable SFP+ connectors are factory-terminated to twin-axial shielded cable to provide superior signal integrity in support 10+Gb/s high frequency data rates The assemblies are impedance matched to ensure interoperability with QSFP+ to SFP+ host ports and minimize insertion loss.

Sopto's QSFP+ to SFP+ interconnects is automated, eliminating assembly variations for consistent and industry leading signal integrity, including a unique termination process that optimizes cross talk and return loss performance, including InfiniBand Ethernet NIC ports as well as Ethernet 10G, 40G (IEEE-802.3ba) and SONET electrical failover 40G links.
