News of Active Optical Cables for SFP+ Assemblies

Fiberstore has intriduced SFP+ active direct attach copper cable assembly that's "fiber-link" in size even more flexible than optical fiber. The SFP+ Active DAC cable fulfills the requirements of dense, higher-port-count switch installations while providing a much more reliable interconnect for high-performance computing (HPC) as well as networking environments using 10 GbE (10 Gigabit Ethernet), FCoE, or 8 Gigabit Fiber Channel.

One of the deficiencies of SFP+ copper cable interconnectsis the size and adaptability of the standard copper cable. In dense environments, the type and flexibility in routing has been an issue for dressing cables in a installation. Fiberstore SFP+ Active DAC cable is "fiber-link" in features and mechanical performance. This technology really expands the marketplace for SFP+ copper interconnects.

The most important and most costly interconnect option from the aforementioned scenario is to link up a pair of SFP+ ports using a separate SFP+ optical transceiver module for every port in conjunction with an optical patch cord. This specific interconnect method is highly expensive because of the costs incurred from the SFP+ transceiver modules as well as the power and/or heat budget considerations associated with the optical engines themselves. The second option, which offers significant cost advantages over the optical route, is using a dynamic equalized SFP+ copper cable assembly such as the one supplied by Fiberstore. One SFP+ Active Copper Cable Assembly will perform a similar serve as two SFP+ transceiver modules with optical patch cord - all for around one quarter the cost and one half the power consumption.

Fiberstore active cable assembies up to 10 meter lengts to several OEMS. With IU performance under 0.4, it can be well below the 0.7 specification with the SFF-8431 standard. Active copper SFP+ assemblies provide us smaller, more flexible cable than fiber optics at one-fifth the power of two transceivers. That performance, along with pricing it really is a fraction of the cost of optics, will greatly benefit the adoption of active copper assemblies with this cable technology.
