General Description
The QSFP-AOC-AXX is a parallel 40 Gbps Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable ( QSFP+)
active optical cable that provides increased port density and total system cost savings .
The QSFP+ full -duplex optical module offers 4 independent transmit and receive
channels, each capable of 10Gbps operation for an aggregate bandwidth of 40Gbps
over 100 meters of multi -mode fiber.

An optical fiber ribbon cable with an MPO/MTP connector at each end plugs into
the QSFP+ module receptacle. The orientation of the ribbon cable is “keyed” and
guide pin s are present inside the module ’s receptacle to ensure proper alignment.
The cable usually has no twist (key up to key up) to ensure proper channel to channel
alignment. Electrical connection is achieved though a z- pluggable 38-pin IPASS connector.

The module operate s from a single +3.3V power supply and LVCMOS/LVTTL global
control signals such as Module Present, Reset, Interrupt and Low Power Mode a re
available with the modules. A 2-wire serial interface is available to send and receive
more complex control signals and to obtain digital diagnostic information. Individual
channels can be addressed and unused channels can be shut down for maximum
design flexibility.
The QSFP-AOC-AXX is designed with form factor, optical/electrical connection and
digital diagnostic interface according to the QSFP+ Multi-Source Agreement (MSA). It
has been designed to meet the harshest external operating conditions incl uding
temperature, humidity and EMI interference. The module offer s very high
functionality and feature integration, accessible via a two-wire serial interface.
