SFP+ cable assemblies
15 September 2010
Interconnection
Tyco Electronics has débuted SFP+ active direct-attach copper cable assemblies – high-speed, cost-effective alternatives to fibre-optic transceivers and MPO cables in 10 Gb Ethernet, 8 GB Fibre Channel and InfiniBand applications. This active design offers signal amplification and equalisation in cable assemblies with low power consumption of 500 mW per cable end. Active cables also incorporate Rx LOS and Tx Disable functionality. Tyco Electronics offers these cables in standard lengths from 0,5 through 15 metres.
The release of SFP+ active copper cable assemblies supplements Tyco’s existing passive direct-attach copper cable assembly product offering. All SFP+ cable assemblies meet the industry MSA specification for signal integrity performance. Both passive and active cables are available in wire gauges from #24 AWG through #30 AWG, and incorporate a 360° cable braid-crimp termination designed to suppress EMI leakage and provide cable strain relief.
Other features include a pull-to-release retractable pin latch and insert-moulded pull tab, which support belly-to-belly applications and enable high port density. SFP+ cable product applications include switches, networking equipment and enterprise storage.
