Product Guide Active Optical Cables Active Optical Cables Finisar's family of active optical cables accelerate data connectivity for storage, networking and high-performance computing (HPC) applications. This product line includes C.wire(R) for 100GbE and InfiniBand 12xQDR/12xFDR/4xEDR; Quadwire(R) for 40/100GbE and InfiniBand 4xQDR/4xFDR/4xEDR; and SFPwire(R) for applications up to 10 Gb/s. Each cable solution leverages Finisar's fiber optic technology for the transmission of data while reducing the weight, density and power consumption of traditional copper solutions. Key advantages of active optical cables include low weight for high port count architectures; small bend radius for easy installations; and low power consumption enabling a greener environment thereby providing the lowest total cost solution for data centers. C.wire Product Selection 12-Channel Parallel Active Optical Cables for 100GbE and InfiniBand 12xQDR/12xFDR C.wire(R) is a family of 12-channel parallel active optical cables that enables high-speed data connectivity for storage, networking, and high-performance computing (HPC) applications. It supports up to 12x14 Gb/s bi-directionally over parallel multimode fiber (MMF) cable. Based on Finisar's vertically integrated VCSEL array technology and designed with CXP-compliant high-density connectors, these cables are compact, lightweight, and low power. C.wire is well suited for data center reaches up to 300 meters for InfiniBand 12xQDR/12xFDR, 100G Ethernet, PCIe, and other proprietary datacom and HPC applications. C.wire is available in a point-to-point configuration using MSA compliant CXP modules on each end, as well as a fanout configuration with a CXP module on one end and three separate QSFP+ modules at the other end.
