Product Bulletin QSFP+ 40Gig Copper Cable Assemblies As virtualization, consolidation, and convergence initiatives continue to grow, so do the demands placed on the physical infrastructure. To meet the needs for faster processing speeds and higher density, Panduit offers QSFP+ Direct Attach Copper Cable Assemblies. QSFP+ (Quad Small Form factor Pluggable) 40Gig cable assemblies provide four channels of 10 Gb/s in one cost effective interface that offers up to four times the density of standard SFP+ 10Gig cable assemblies. Panduit QSFP+ are compliant with IEEE802.3ba 40GBASE-CR4 and SFF-8436, while meeting requirements for both QSFP and QSFP+. End-to-end high speed data transport systems from Panduit deliver enhanced availability, agility, and security. Visit www.panduit.com to learn more about how these solutions help customers manage risk across their physical infrastructure. Key Features Benefits Can be used for 40GBASE-CR4 applications and are hot pluggable into QSFP Compliant to IEEE 802.3ba and SFF-8436 compliant host ports Ensures interoperability with 40Gig Ethernet EEPROM compliant to SFF-8436 Low cost, low power alternative to fiber optics up to 6 meters Passive copper cable assembly Can be used in place of four SFP+ Direct Attach Cables tripling switch port density High density Can be used for high performance computer clustering and other latency Low latency sensitive applications Easy-to-use latching feature allows high density belly-to-belly installation Robust latching Reduces crosstalk to meet both 40GBASE-CR4 Advanced connector design Reduces risk of a faulty cord in the field and ensures quicker up time 100% performance tested 40GBASE-CR4 cable assemblies available 1 to 6 meters (1 meter increments) Variety of lengths for design flexibility Designed to be integrated with Panduit NetAccess Cabinets for improved layout, Part of the Panduit Unified SM wire-management, and advanced cooling Physical Infrastructure solution Technical Information Characteristic impedance: 100 +/- 5 Withdrawal force from cage: 30 N maximum Temperature range: -25C to 80C (-13F to 176F) Retention force: 90 N minimum Flame retardant IEC 60332-3-24 Durability: 250 mating cycles minimum Bend radius: 5 x O.D. single time, 10 x O.D. repeated times RoHS compliant Applications Top of Rack (ToR) switch to server 10Gig and 40Gig Ethernet End of Row (EoR)/Middle of Row(MoR) switch to switch SAS 6G Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) www.panduit.com QSFP+ 40Gig Copper Cable Assemblies Standard Part Number Table Cable Cable Cable Part Number Application Length Gauge Nominal Cable O.D.
