TE Connectivity (formerly Tyco Electronics) has launched new 40 Gbps QSFP+ optical transceivers – parallel fibre-optic modules with four independent optical transmit and receive channels for increased board density. This extension to TE’s QSFP product portfolio for the broad Ethernet and InfiniBand standards marketplace combines the high-density and low-power benefits of parallel modules with some of the key advantages normally associated with SFP+ based modules, such as digital diagnostic monitoring for improved systems management.
The transceivers can be used in switches, routers, data centres and other Ethernet applications where they provide an increase in faceplate PCB density and simplify heat management through reduced power consumption (power dissipation of 0,8 W) of more than 50% compared to the use of four individual SFP+ modules. Offering a digital diagnostic monitoring interface, the new transceivers allow customers to easily manage and monitor key module parameters of a system through alarm and warning flags for module performance.
QSFP+ MSA- and SFF-8436-compatible, the transceivers are electrically hot-pluggable, allowing for port population on demand and in the field. The latch mechanism eases insertion into board-mounted cages and optical connectivity is enabled via industry standard MPO/MTP-terminated fibre ribbon.
