QSFP+ AOC FDR (TBD) with 3MTM Twin Axial Cable technology

With the SC11 show less than a week away, we at 3M are gearing up and getting excited about what we have to share with the IBTA community. The high-speed twin axial cable and active optical cable (AOC) teams haven’t wasted any time by quickly identifying ways to contribute to the working groups and working to bring the best of 3M processes and innovation to the table. Coupled with access to IBTA’s resources, our support and rapidly growing portfolio of high-speed products will continue to expand and evolve.This week, our 3M engineers are currently at IBTA Plugfest 20 with a full suite of complementary copper and fiber products for FDR, QSFP+ AOC FDR (TBD) rates, ranging in lengths from 0.5 meters up to 100 meters. And this momentum continues as we head into SC11.3M is a sponsor of the IBTA/OFA booth, where we’ll be showcasing our various high-speed products for the HPC segment.

Ethernet SFP+ Passive DAC that comes in either an active cable or passive twin-ax cable

 They may be plugged into SFF-8431 SFP+ Passive DAC compliant ports and are interchangeable with fiber optic transceivers. (Note: some system vendors have designed copper-only or fiber-only SFP+ ports, so be sure to confirm host port capabilities with the active equipment vendor) The Panduit 10Gig SFP+ Passive DAC Cable Assemblies are constructed with high frequency 10 GHz
100 ohm parallel shielded pairs, with two wire pairs in the cable. Panduit uses 30AWG for cables less than 4 meters in length and uses 24AWG for 4 meter and longer cables.The registers in the EEPROM provide a method for the connector to
identify itself as an SFP+ passive copper module to allow the active equipment to operate in the proper mode. Other information contained in the memory reg Panduit10Gig SFP+ Direct Attach Copper Cable Assemblies are intelligent cables.

MiniSAS Cables power to enable active cables and EEPROM

This 1/2 meter long cable uses 30 AWG wires and is intended for internal use. It has a single 36-pin SFF-8087 male Mini-SAS plug (with locking latch) on one end and has four 7-pin SATA female plugs (with locking latches) on the other, allowing you to connect four SATA drives to an SAS controller. This is a Forward Breakout cable, meaning that it is intended to connect to a host/controller on the SAS end and to drives on the SATA end.Several forward-looking solutions were adopted to ensure future enhanced connectivity. MiniSAS Cables(high-density) connector was chosen for next generation interconnects (including the 12 Gb/s data rate to be defined in the upcoming SAS-3.0 tandard), which had provisions for power to enable active cables and EEPROM for management. All these solutions, however, still did not address the large number of MiniSAS Cables interconnects deployed in the field which were limited to the 10m passive copper reach. Despite distinct benefits offered QSFP-H40G-​CU1M – Compatible Cisco 40GbE QSFP+ QDR Direct-Att​ach Copper Cable 1m by SAS to OEM’s, integrators and end users, the technology has been somewhat curtailed by the limited reach of supported copper cabling.

SFP 1.25Gb/s switched backplanes

RoHS-compliant transceiver module is able to access the physical layer IC (PHY) via I2C interface. Additionally, the device features Baseline Wander correction to recover data in a worst-case network environment, and an automatic medium-dependent interface crossover (auto-MDIX) feature. In 1000BASE-T and 100BASE-TX modes, the transmit data stream is scrambled to reduce radiated emissions and to ensure that there is no correlation between symbols in the data stream.Supporting 10/100/1000 Mbps data-rate in excess of 100 meters (325 feet) reach over UTP Category 5/5e cables, the robust SFP-1GBT-05 transceiver module is ideally suited for implementing small form-factor Network Interface Cards (NICs) and uplinks. As such, it is highly appropriate for use in such high-density applications as LAN 1000BASE-T, switch-to-switch interfaces, switched backplanes, blade servers, gaming devices, and router/server interfaces.The Model OTOLS-13, OTOLS-15 and OTOLS-CW small form pluggable (SFP) transceivers operate at 10GTEK offers SFP 1.25Gb/s and are compatible with gigabit Ethernet and 1000BASE-T standards. The link uses a two-wire serial communication protocol based on current industry requirements. The compact metallic QSFP-H40G-​CU1M – Compatible Cisco 40GbE QSFP+ QDR Direct-Att​ach Copper Cable 1m enclosure includes a standard LC connector and can be ordered for 1310nm, 1550nm, or CWDM transport.

Excel OM1 Duplex patch leads are generally available

The PVC jacket used on Dueltek fibre cables is LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen). LSZH cable reduces the amount of toxic and corrosive gas emitted during combustion. This type of material is typically used in poorly ventilated areas such as aircraft or rail cars, but it is becoming a more popular choice for green installations & nvironmentally conscious consumers.Plenum duplex fiber cable is composed of a tight buffer, aramid yarn, and a PVC outer jacket. All component materials meet the EU RoHS and REACH Directive standards.These plenum duplex fiber cables are available in 12 TIA standard colors or special order colors. The fiber cable is UL Listed OFNP for use in ducts, plenums and air-handling spaces. Standard surface print denotes construction, NEC rating, and fiber type, and includes footage markers. Custom print can also be accommodated.Excel OM1 Duplex patch leads are generally available from stock in lengths from 1 to 30 metres. For requirements which may vary from this, such as specific length, colour or labelling requirements, please contact your local Excel distributor. Not all cable types and lengths are available from stock in both grey and orange please check with you nearest sales office for details.
