QSFP+ AOC cable assembly and AFBR-79Q4Z transceiver

AOC's offer customers the flexibility of traditional optical modules by interfacing to systems via a standard QSFP+ AOC, SFF-8436 connector. The cable is electrically compliant with the SFP+ interface supporting InfiniBand, Ethernet, Fibre Channel and other applications. The QSFP+ connector includes the Digital Diagnostic Monitoring Interface (DDMI).Avago Technologies (Nasdaq: AVGO), a leading supplier of analog interface components for communications, industrial and consumer applications, will showcase its leading QSFP+ active optical cable (AOC) and transceiver solutions for short range Infiniband and Ethernet applications this week at Supercomputing 09.  Avago’s AFBR-79Q4xACyyZ is a high performance integrated cable for short-range multi-lane data communication and interconnect applications.  It integrates four data lanes in each direction with 40Gbps aggregate bandwidth into a single module.  Each lane can operate at 10 Gbps with lengths ranging from 1 to 100 meters.  Avago’s AFBR-79Q4xACyyZ QSFP+ AOC cable assembly and AFBR-79Q4Z transceiver utilizes multimode fiber using a wavelength of 850 nm.  The electrical interface uses a 38-contact edge type connector.  Additionally, the four-channel pluggable AOC and transceiver incorporate Avago’s integrated circuit and VCSEL technology to provide reliable long life, high performance, and consistent service.
