QSFP Assemblies Improve Reliability In Infiniband Systems

The QSFP copper-cable assemblies targeting high-performance computing, enterprise network, and network-storage markets suit Infiniband, 10- and 40-Gigabit Ethernet applications. The assemblies promise to improve signal reliability at speeds over the standard Infiniband QDR data rate of 10 Gb/s per channel. Also, the company’s unique design and low-dielectric materials reportedly improve bend radius over longer distances in small cross-sectional areas. The assemblies employ EYE-OPENER+ conductor technology, a patented design that allegedly yields the highest data rate and longest distance in the smallest cable available today.
