2-port 40GbE/10GbE QSFP+ Signal Conditioner Reference Design
Description
This verified reference design is a signal conditioning solution for front-port QSFP+ supporting two 40GbE ports compatible with 40G-CR4/SR4/LR4 and 10G SFF-8431 requirements. The design is applicable to optical and passive/active copper cables. It allows for reach extension between the Switch ASIC and the front-port QSFP+ which is often required for the outermost ports of a Top-of-Rack (ToR) switch or for add-in mezzanine implementations of QSFP+ line cards.
Features
- Front-port stacked QSFP+ implementation with signal conditioning to support 40GbE/10GbE optical and passive copperExtends reach between Switch and front-port by up to 3x beyond nPPI/SFF-8431 host channel loss limitLow-power/low-cost solution for front-port signal conditioningApplicable to Top-of-Rack (ToR) switch and line card systemsSingle power supply: no firmware required: no heatsink required: no reference clock requiredLab-tested HW example including 40GbE/10GbE-specific test data
