Spalletta QSFP+ Transceiver Module

Spalletta QSFP+ (Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable Plus) is a new Multi-Source Agreement (MSA) for high speed application, such as 40G-BASE, which provide four channels of data in one pluggable interface. Each channel is capable of transferring data at 10Gbps and supports a total of 40Gbps.

The 40Gbps QSFP+ transceiver is well suited for Infiniband and 40GBASE-SR4  /  40GBASE-LR4 applications. It combines the higher density attractions of parallel modules with some of the key advantages normally associated with SFP+ based modules. It is intended for use short reach applications in switches, routers and data center equipment where it provides higher density and lower cost when compared with standard SFP+ modules.

Options

• QSFP+ MSA, SFF-8436 compatible
• Four independently addressable transmit and receive channels
• Highly compact: savings of 60% on edge and board usage compared to four comparable SFP+ modules
• 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

Applications

• High-speed interconnects within and between switches, routers and transport equipment
• Server-Server Clusters, Super-computing interconnections
• Proprietary backplanes
• Interconnects rack-to-rack, shelf-to-shelf, board-to-board, board-to-optical backplane
• 40GBASE-LR4 Ethernet links
• 10GBASE-SR applications
• 40GBASE-SR4 applications
• 40GBASE-ER4 Ethernet links
• InfiniBand SDR, DDR and QDR applications
