High Speed Interconnects

Siemon’s comprehensive line of high-performance, high-speed interconnect assemblies for direct attach point-to-point applications in the data center support up to 100 Gig across an array of applications. Independently tested for interoperability with most major equipment manufacturers, Siemon high-speed interconnects are available in a variety of QSFP28, SFP28, QSFP+, SFP+ form factors, including hybrid breakouts and active optical cables. They are competitively priced, available in various length, including many 1/2 meter lengths, and color options, and backed by Siemon’s superior technical service and support. Siemon High Speed Interconnects are MSA (Multi-Source Agreement) compliant to ensure compatibility across equipment from various vendors.

High Speed Interconnects Solutions

100g qsfp28

Supporting speeds up to 100 Gb/s, Siemon’s QSFP28 cables exceed 100G Ethernet specifications(100G-BASE-CR4). These cables are designed for high-density applications, offering a cost-effective, low-power option for high-speed data center interconnects.

• Shares the same mating interface with QSFP+ (SFF-8436) form factors, making it backward compatible with existing QSFP+ ports
• Available in half meter lengths

100g breakouts

Siemon’s QSFP28 to 4 SFP28 Passive Copper Cable assemblies exceed 25G Ethernet specifications (100GBASE-CR4). It shares the same mating interface with QSFP+ (SFF-8436) and SFP+ (SFF-8431) form factors, making it backward compatible with existing QSFP+ and SFP+ equipment ports.

• Features ultra low crosstalk for enhanced performance
• Available in standard lengths up to 5 meters (16.4 ft.) for support of up to 100 Gig (4×25 Gig) Ethernet applications

25g sfp28

These cables support the next generation of applications (25GBASE-CR), connecting switches to network equipment in short-reach applications.

• Available in standard lengths up to 5 meters (16.4 ft.) for support of up to 25G Ethernet
• Features ultra-low crosstalk for enhanced performance

40g qsfp+

QSFP+ copper cable assemblies were developed for high-density applications, offering a cost-effective, low-power option for high-speed data center interconnects. Available in multiple colors, length and gauges, the QSFP+ form factor (Quad SFP+) can replace up to four standard SFP+ connections, providing greater density and reduced system cost.

• Supports emerging 40 Gb/s applications and are available in standard lengths up to 5 meters with longer custom lengths available
• Fully-shielded assemblies combine twin-axial shielded cable configuration with robust die cast housings for enhanced support of high frequency data rates
• Over molding on the PCB level provide additional strain relief

40g breakouts

Siemon hybrid cables allow users to connect SFP+ and QSFP+ equipment. They offer a cost-effective, low-power option for high-speed data center interconnects. The direct-attach assemblies support 4 lanes of 10 Gb/s and are available in standard lengths up to 5 meters with longer custom lengths available.

• For Ethernet applications from 4 x 10G

10g sfp+ active and passive

Siemon’s SFP+ active and passive copper cable assemblies were developed specifically as a cost-effective alternative to optical modules for short reach links in high-speed interconnect applications such as high-performance computing (HPC), enterprise networking and network storage markets.

• Support data transfer rates up to 10+ Gb/s per lane, meeting or exceeding current standards specifications
• Active cables use signal processing within the connector back shells to extend the length that copper cables can reach beyond the limits of passive copper solutions
• Fully-shielded assemblies combine twin-axial shielded cable configuration with robust die cast housings for enhanced support of high frequency data rates
• Confirmed as ‘GHMT Premium’ accredited by independent test house GHMT AG as part of its GHMT Premium Verification Program (GHMT PVP).
