Pluggable I/O Connectors

Pluggable I/O connectors that form part of a high-speed modular interconnection system. These pluggable connectors feature high-speed I/O interfaces that support higher data rates than those of traditional copper interfaces such as RJ45. This high data rate makes these pluggable I/O connectors suitable for use in the increasing number of applications that demand a high bandwidth. These pluggable connectors provide a standard I/O interface in the equipment they are used in. This feature enables design flexibility by allowing the user to choose between transceiver modules and direct attach cable assemblies depending on application. A range of standards are supported including Fibre channel, Ethernet, InfiniBand and SAS. Types Of I/O Interface are: SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable): supports data rates of up to 4 Gbit/s. SFP+ (Small Form-factor Pluggable Plus): Supports data rates of up to 16 Gbit/s. CFP (C Form-factor pluggable): Supports data rates of up to 100 Gbit/s with 10 Gbit/s per channel. XFP (10 Gbit Small Form-factor Pluggable): Supports data rates of up to 10 Gbit/s. QSFP (Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable): Supports data rates of up to 40 Gbit/s with 10 Gbit/s per channel. zQSFP+ (z-Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable Plus): Supports data rates of more than 100 Gbit/s with 28 Gbit/s per channel. These pluggable I/O connectors are suitable for use in applications that require a high-speed data transmissions rate. These applications include access routers and switches, high end servers, network hubs, medical diagnostic equipment and cellular infrastructure.
