Abstract

The invention provides a 40G QSFP active optical cable which includes a light transceiver module and an optical cable of at least eight channels. The light transceiver module includes a photoelectric assembly, a module housing and a module locking device. The photoelectric assembly is used to carry out the conversion between an optical signal and an electric signal. The module housing is used to fix the photoelectric assembly so as to protect the photoelectric assembly from outside influences. The module locking device is used to firmly connect the module with an external system, and provides conveniences for the unlocking of the module from the external system. The optical cable of at least eight channels is connected with two light transceiver modules and is used to transmit the optical signal. The QSFP active optical cable can realize a four-channel 10G signal duplex transmission, and has the advantages of light weight, low cost, concise structure, convenient plugging, reliable and stable performance, and strong utility, so the QSFP active optical cable can be applied to high performance computer, data center, etc.

Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to a 40G QSFP active optical cable, which belongs to the technical field of photoelectric communication. Background technique

[0002] With the development of communication network technology, the advantages of large capacity and high speed have been widely used and popularized. Especially in recent years, the rapid increase of broadband services has put forward higher requirements for the capacity and density of network system equipment. Due to the limited area of ​​the system equipment panel, the number of module connection lines is limited. Using standard SFP+ connectors, the number of channels that can be accommodated is limited by the physical space.

[0003] 40G QSFP active cables have short transmission distance, high weight and high cost. In order to solve the problems of speed, space, and cost, it is necessary to design a medium-to-long-distance transmission 40G QSFP active optical cable to realize full-duplex medium-to-...
