CXP to 3 QSFP+ Breakout Passive Copper Assemblies
Siemon Interconnect Solutions CXP to 3 QSFP+ Copper Cable assemblies allow users to connect CXP and QSFP+ equipment together. Compliant with both CXP and QSFP+ specifications, this breakout cable provides a cost effective, low-power option for high density high-speed data center interconnects. The CXP form factor can replace up to three standard QSFP+ connections, providing greater density and reduced system cost. The direct-attach assemblies support emerging 100Gb/s applications and are available in standard lengths up to 4 meters with longer custom lengths available.
