Vi-Link fiber optic active cable assembly features up to eight differential copper pairs, providing four data transmission channels at speeds up to 28Gbps per channel, and meets 100G Ethernet, 25G Ethernet, and InfiniBand Enhanced Data Rate (EDR) requirements. Available in a broad range of wire gages-from 26AWG through 30AWG-this 100G copper cable assembly features low insertion loss and low cross talk.
Designed for applications in the data center, networking, and telecommunications markets that require a high-speed, reliable cable assembly, this next-generation product shares the same mating interface with SFP+, QSFP+, SFP28 form factor, making it backward compatible with existing QSFP ports. QSFP28 can be used with current 10G and 14G applications with substantial signal integrity margins.
