MPO QSFP+ trunk/ patchcord assemblies are interconnecting QSFP+ transceivers operating within 40GBASE-SR parallel optics networks. QSFP+ transceivers utilize 12 Fibers MPO interface and perform 40G transmission using 4 x 10G channels (8 fibers: 4 x TX and 4 x RX ).
MPO QSFP+ assemblies are offered as 8 fibers OM3 or OM4 Trunks using a compact and rugged double jacket MicroCable structure or patch cords using compact single jacket MicroCable. Compact and flexible MicroCable optimizes cable-way use and improve airflow in high density data center environment.
MPO QSFP+ assemblies are built with highest quality components. MPO Premium versions are offered featuring low insertion loss for demanding high speed networks where power budgets are critical.
QSFP+ MPO assembly when connected directly to QSFP+ transceivers should feature FEMALE un-pinned MPO connector. When assembly is mated with another MPO QSFP+ Assembly - Male/ Pinned or Female/ Un-Pinned Connector should be chosen accordingly (MPO Male/ Pinned connector must always be mated with MPO Female/ Un-Pinned connector. When two Males or Females MPO connectors are mated together via MPO Adapter - high losses will occur)
