Amphenol FCI QSFP/QSFP+ Copper Cable Assemblies

Amphenol FCI QSFP/QSFP+ Copper Cable Assemblies deliver aggregate bandwidths of 40Gb/s, 56Gb/s, and 112Gb/s. These assemblies support industry standards including IEEE 802.3ba, IEEE 802.3bj, InfiniBand QDR, FDR, and EDR. The design incorporates a 38-position SMT-mounted edge card connector, optimized PCB interface, and robust diecast covers with a metal EMI cage for shielding. These devices maintain a differential impedance of 100Ω, within-pair skew under 10ps/m, and a current rating of 0.5A per contact. The QSFP/QSFP+ cable assemblies are used in data centers, high-performance computing, servers, switches, routers, and networked storage systems.
