Broadcom Inc. QSFP+ Pluggable, Parallel Fiber-Optics Module for 40 Gb Ethernet and InfiniBand Applications AFBR-79EQPZ

The Avago Technologies AFBR-79EQDZ is a Four-Channel, Pluggable, Parallel, Fiber-Optic QSFP+ Transceiver for 40 Gigabit Ethernet (40GbE) applications. This transceiver is a high performance module for short-range multi-lane data communication and interconnect applications. It integrates four data lanes in each direction with 40 Gbps aggregate bandwidth. Each lane can operate at 10.3125 Gbps up to 100 m using OM3 fiber or 150 m using OM4 fiber. The push-pull tab facilitates the insertion and extraction of these transceivers in such high density environment. These modules support 4 x 10G InfiniBand (IB) quadruple data rate (40G-IB-QDR) applications and are backward compatible to the 4 x 5G IB dual data rate (20G-IBDDR) and 4 x 2.5G IB single data rate (10G-IB-SDR) applications as well. These modules are designed to operate over multimode fiber systems using a nominal wavelength of 850nm. The electrical interface uses a 38 contact edge type connector. The optical interface uses an 8 or 12 fiber MTP® (MPO) connector. This module incorporates Avago Technologies proven integrated circuit and VCSEL technology to provide reliable long life, high performance, and consistent service.
