The QSFP+ solution is also the only offering with integrated

Philip Gadd, vice president and general manager of Avago fiber optic products division, said: “has a long-term co-developed with customers and partners to solve design challenges and meet the demand for higher bandwidth technology solutions experience, Avago has become a leader in optical fiber communication applications in the data center. “Following last year’s launch of the industry’s first 40G Ethernet the SR4 Module products, our new QSFP+ to MiniSAS cable, and eSR4 module for data centers provide 10G upgrade to 40G Ethernet, and bring longer connected simple upgrade path distance. "Standards such as QSFP+ and SFP+ are constantly changing and evolving which means that engineers need comprehensive test solutions in order to efficiently and quickly validate their designs and bring them to market," said Brian Reich, general manager, Performance Oscilloscopes, Tektronix. "Our solution offers automated compliance testing that can save customers up to 80 percent in test time compared to manual testing while also providing a seamless transition to our world-class debugging Cavity Surface environment."Unlike other SFP+ test solutions that are based on sampling oscilloscopes, the new Tektronix SFP+ QSFP+ Tx solution is based on real-time oscilloscopes, the preferred test platform for engineers designing products for QSFP+ as well as for such standards as SFF-8431 and SFF-8635. The SFP+ QSFP+ Tx solution is also the only offering with integrated support for Transmitter Waveform Distortion Penalty for Copper (TWDPc) testing as called for by the SFF-8431 standard.
