Description
F-tone Networks QSFP to 4x SFP+ breakout Active Optical Cable offers IT professionals a cost-effective interconnect solution for merging 40G QSFP and 10G SFP+ enabled host adapters, switches and servers.
For typical applications, users can install this splitter Active Optical cable between an available QSFP port on their 40Gbps rated switch and feed up to four upstream 10GbE-SFP+ enabled switches. Each QSFP-SFP+ splitter Active Optical cable features a single QSFP connector (SFF-8436) rated for 40Gbps on one end and (4) SFP+ connectors (SFF-8431), each rated for 10-Gb/s, on the other.

Features
● Electrical interface compliant to QSFP+ connector (SFF-8436) and SFP+ connectors (SFF-8431)
● Hot Pluggable
● 850nm VCSEL transmitter, PIN photo-detector receiver
● Up to 100m on OM3 MMF
● All-metal housing for superior EMI performance
● RoHS compliant (lead free)
● Case operating temperature
     Commercial: 0 ~ +70℃
     Industrial: -40 ~ +85℃

Applications
● 40 Gigabit Ethernet
● Fibre Channel Applications
● InfiniBand QDR, SDR, DDR
● High-performance computing clusters
● Servers, switches, storage and host card adapters
