Finisar演示120G主动型分支光缆

nokiver

Finisar is holding the first public demonstration of a 120-Gbps CXP-to-QSFP active breakout cable at the SuperComputing 2009 (SC09) exhibition. The active optical cable contains a single CXP transceiver at one end and three 40-Gbps QSFP transceivers at the other end to provide flexibility in high performance computing and network infrastructure environments.

Finisar asserts that a significant benefit of this multi-connector cable is that it provides high-density switches with connectivity to multiple top-of-rack switches and/or server nodes. Compliant with both CXP and QSFP specifications, this breakout cable provides a hot-pluggable, low power, low-weight, and flexible option for high port-count network topologies, the company says.

Finisar 在Supercomputing 2009 展会上首次发布120G主动型分支光缆, 这个光缆一端是一个单独的CXP发送器，另一端包含3个QSFP发送器。可为高性能计算和网络基础环境提供了灵活配置。

Finisar宣称 该多连接光缆可以用来连接高密度的交换机和多个框顶交换机或者是多个服务器节点。这种分支光缆完全符合CXP和QSFP协议标准， 并为多端口的网络拓朴提供了热插拔，低功耗，低码，灵活配置等功能。

以前没见过分支光缆，GOOGLE了一下，找了张图，

主要是用在基站接入，FTTH，CATV等接入设备上，可以有效的减少光缆接头提高网络可靠性。
主动型分支光缆？不解
