designing products for QSFP+ as well as for such standards

The QSFP+ Multi Source Agreement (MSA) document specifies a transceiver mechanical form factor with latching mechanism, host-board electrical edge connector and cage. The hot-pluggable transceiver integrates 4 transmit and 4 receive channels. Molex 's QSFP+ transceiver can replace up to 4 standard SFP transceivers. The result is greater port density and overall system cost savings over traditional SFP products. Molex 's SFP cage is used with the 38-circuit iPass SMT host connector and cable assemblies, passive (74757) and active (74758). Molex 's QSFP+ AOC CABLE, 20M assembly is designed to accommodate stacked and ganged connector configurations in extremely high-density requirements. It will support Ethernet, Fibre Channel, InfiniBand* and SONET/SDH standards with different data rate options."Standards such as QSFP+ and SFP+ are constantly changing and evolving which means that engineers need comprehensive test solutions in order to efficiently and quickly AFBR-79EIDZ 40G-iSR4 validate their designs and bring them to market," said Brian Reich, general manager, Performance Oscilloscopes, Tektronix. "Our solution offers automated compliance testing that can save customers up to 80 percent in test time compared to manual testing while also providing a seamless transition to our world-class debugging environment
