application
8-fiber interconnects connect to QSFP modules that employ parallel optics technologies such as 40GBASE-SR4 and
100GBASE-SR4.
technical information
8-fiber interconnect assemblies are used in high density, high speed network and storage
applications. The 8-fiber MPO female connectors are compatible with QSFP fiber modules
that employ parallel optics technologies such at 40GBASE-SR4 and 100GBASE-SR4.
8-fiber interconnects can connect (2) QSFP modules directly, or can be used to connect a
QSFP port to an MPO-to-LC cassette.
