hybrid QSFP+ Passive Copper significantly reduces power

connectivity such as fiber optic cables. Optimizing systems to operate with Mellanox’s hybrid QSFP+ Passive Copper significantly reduces power consumption and enlarges the connectivity opportunities of the system. Rigorous cable production testing ensures the best out-of-the-box installation experience, performance and durabilityHybrid cables connect network equipment with different connector types. These cables can connect InfiniBand switch or HCA ports with the original QSFP+ Passive Copper connector to equipment with the newer QSFP connector. Hybrid breakout cables enable the connection of 40Gigabit Ethernet QSFP ports to multiple 10GigE ports using SFP+ type connector. Hybrid cables also enable Mellanox’s VPI adapters and 40Gigabit Ethernet ports to connect to 10Gigabit Ethernet ports with either QSFP+ Passive Copper connectors Mellanox cables are available with a wide range of connector types, complying with the different protocols in the market.
