SFP Plus (SFP+) 10 Gbps Interconnect System
SFP+ (Small Form-factor Pluggable Plus) 10 Gbps Interconnect System from Molex supports
next-generation speeds of standard SFP applications, with a greater range of options for increased port density
The
SFP+ product line of connectors, cages and patch cables takes SFP to the next level. SFP+ interconnects are designed to support applications for 8 Gbps Fibre Channel and 10 Gbps Gigabit Ethernet, as compared to SFP, which is designed to support 1.125 Gbps Fibre Channel and 2.5 Gbps Gigabit Ethernet applications. SFP+ interconnects use the same space-per-port as standard SFP interconnects, therefore providing 11.1 Gbps capability in a space that is 30% smaller than XFP.
The SFP+ interconnect system supports the SFP+ specifications covering 6 different standards, which define data rates ranging from 8.5 to11.1 Gbps. The SFP+ system is commonly referred to as 10 Gbps system although the specification is rated up to 11.1 Gpbs.
The
SFP+ host connectors are a key component in Molex's extensive SFP product line. Molex designed the 74441 series to be capable of handling 10 Gbps data rates several years ago. Now, with the launch of SFP+, Molex is well positioned with a host connector that is tooled and in volume production.
The standard SFP host connectors offer excellent signal integrity at 10 Gbps. Thus, a customer using the standard part does not need a board re-spin. Also offered is a new version with a modified housing to protect against a mis-mated module. This offers the same electrical performance as the original host connector. The part numbers for this version are 74441-5001 and -5010.
Watertown, Connecticut Siemon, a leading global manufacturer of IT network cabling and infrastructure systems, today announced that its high speed interconnect products have passed key 40 and 100 Gigabit Ethernet testing at the Ethernet Alliance's recent Higher Speed Ethernet (HSE) subcommittee interoperability plugfest for IEEE Std. 802.3baTM-2010 40 and 100 Gbps Ethernet.
Hosted by Ixia at its iSimCity lab in Santa Clara, CA and assisted by the University of New Hampshire Interoperability Lab, the plugfest was designed to verify interoperability of 40 Gb/s and 100 Gb/s test equipment, systems, NICs, transceivers and cabling. Testing included Siemon's Moray QSFP active optical and QSFP passive copper cable assemblies, multi-fiber MTP connectorized equipped OM3 and OM4 optical assemblies and singlemode fiber with SC connectors. All Siemon high-speed cable assemblies passed their respective 40 Gb/s and 100 Gb/s interoperability tests.
"The plugfest was instrumental in proving that the higher speed Ethernet ecosystem is ready for deployment," said David Schneider, marketing chair of the EA's Higher Speed Ethernet subcommittee. "Siemon's full line of cables fully interoperated with the transceivers and systems at the plugfest."
"With the
SFP Plus recent activity in IEEE 802.3ab, this EA plugfest becomes absolutely crucial in signalling the commercial viability of high-speed Ethernet to the larger network infrastructure market," explained Randy Below, VP of Business Development at Siemon's Interconnect Solutions business unit. "It also allowed Siemon to highlight the breadth of its cabling line. We have end-to end twisted pair and optical fiber systems supporting application speeds up to and beyond 10Gb/s, including category 6A shielded and UTP and fully-shielded category 7A TERA as well as XGLO singlemode and multimode fiber. We can now add fully interoperable 40Gb/s and 100Gb/s Passive twinaxial Copper, Active Optical and Passive Optical interconnects to that list."
