QSFP cables... the next big thing

QSFP cables, also referred to as Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable cables, are the next-generation hot-pluggable interface for high performance switches, routers, servers and host bus adapters for computing and telecommunication applications. QSFP is currently the world’s most compact, 4-high speed channel, Z-axis pluggable interface. This product integrates four 10G high speed channels into a single pluggable interconnect system, resulting in three times the port density of SFP and lower cost per channel.

“The QSFP specification provides the industry’s highest bandwidth density in a standardized pluggable interface,” said Scott Kipp, chairman of the QSFP MSA. “By providing the QSFP product offering that works at 10 Gbps per channel or 40 Gbps aggregate...”

TMC now offers QSFP cables in QDR, DDR, SDR, for InfiniBand, CX4 and MiniSAS in various lengths.
