Our ZLynx active optical cables for data center and computer cluster
interconnect deliver significant weight, flexibility and reach advantages while
reducing installation time and layout concerns. Zarlink\'s parallel optical
module and transceiver solutions combine ultra-high capacity channel transfer
into one integrated module, providing equipment manufacturers with board space
and power savings. Zarlink\'s homegrown multi-channel physical medium dependent
integrated circuits and state-of-the-art array photonics technology is at the
core of our parallel interconnect product portfolio.
Quad Small Form Factor Pluggable (QSFP) modules are the next generation of
pluggable modules intended for high density applications. A QSFP module is a
parallel fiber optical transceiver module with four independent optical transmit
and receive channels. It combines the higher density attractions of parallel
modules with some of the key advantages normally associated with SFP based
modules.
Features & Benefits
QSFP MSA compatible
Four independently addressable transmit and receive channels
Highly compact: saving of 60% on edge and board usage compared to four
comparable SFP modules
Differential, internally AC-coupled data I/Os
Electrically z-pluggable, allowing port population on demand
Electrically hot-pluggable
XFP-like latch mechanism for ease-of-insertion
Digital Diagnostics Monitoring Interface. Allows customer management and
monitoring of key modules parameters, analogous to SFP
Optical connectivity via industry standard MPO/MTP terminated fiber ribbon
