Product Description
F-tone Networks active copper cables are 40Gb/s cables assembly. The cables are compliant with InfiniBand Architecture, SFF-8436 specifications and provide connectivity between devices using QSFP ports.
The F-tone Networks QSFP cable is an assembly of 4 full-duplex lanes, where each lane is capable of transmitting data at rates up to 10Gb/s per direction, providing an aggregated rate of 40Gb/s. The cables use state of-the-art signal processing technology to fill the expanding need for cost effective data center interconnects that cannot be served with passive copper solutions. F-tone Networks unique low power cable solutions consume 50-75% less power than optical interconnects. Optimizing systems to operate with F-tone Networks’s active copper cables significantly reduce power consumption and EMI emission, eliminating the use of EDC hosts. Rigorous cable production testing ensures best out-of-the-box installation experience, performance and durability.
