Features And Benefits Of QSFP+ PSM4 AOC

• Low power consumption of less than 0.78W QDR and 1.1W FDR per cable end, 30% less than competition: Improves overall data-center power consumption and thermal efficiency. Enables deployment of additional ports for increased number of AOCs per system, resulting in more connectivity options and total system cost savings.
• Four bi-directional (BIDI) optical data links per end, operating at data rates from 1.0 to 14.0 (aggregated 56.0) Gbps for FDR versions and 1.0 to 10.3125 (aggregated 40.0) Gbps for QDR versions: Compatible with multiple protocols including InfiniBand Fourteen Data Rate (FDR), 10 Gbps Ethernet, Fibre Channel (8 and 10 Gbps), SAS 2.1 and 3.0 (6 and 12 Gbps) and other protocol applications.
• Low Bit Error Rate (BER) of 1E-18: Provides increased data reliability and robustness of link versus standard transceivers with 1E-12 errors per link.
• QSFP+ PSM4 to MPO cables available with loss budgets of 2 and 4dB, enabling links up to 4km: Supports use in structured cabling systems.
• Lower cost option versus standard transceivers and cable assemblies: Allows for significantly more structured, economical cable links.
• Low-loss singlemode pigtail versions available: Ensures network is capable of handling future bandwidth increases. Minimizes future highcost cable upgrades as bandwidth requirements increase.
• QSFP+ PSM4 to QSFP+ PSM4 AOC cables are permanently attached to the fiber, with no air gaps: Interface provides protection from environmental contaminants and other user disturbances during installation.
• Firmware is field flashable via an I2C bus: Ensures cables can be re-flashed while in the host system.
