It has been according to the QSFP+ A0C

This product is a high data rate parallel active optical cable (AOC), to overcome the bandwidth limitation of traditional copper cable. The QSFP+ A0C offers 4 independent data transmission channels and 4 data receiving channels via the multimode ribbon fibers Available in fibre terminal module QSFP+ A0C, fiber optic transceiver is typically used to connect from beyond the 7m switch.Rod 40G transceiver opportunities will appear, providing 40G QSFP SR transceiver and Ethernet for application less than 50m QSFP+ A0C, many transceivers suppliers have already started up. More than 10 transceiver company has announced the launch of the new transceivers and/or QSFP+ A0C,Many people in the industry believe that data centers need to tens of thousands of 100G medium-distance connections, to support server virtualization, data, smart phones, tablets and even software will appear in the network of “flood”In my previous articles, we talked a lot about QSFP+ AOC; we know its features, what is the benefit of each feature?We know QSFP+ AOC has low power consumption of less than 1W per cable end, 30% less than competition,QSFP+ active cable has 4 bi-directional optical data links per end, operating at data rates from 1.0 to 14.0 Gbps for FDR versions and 1.0 to 10.3125 Gbps for QDR versions, so it can compatible with multiple protocols including InfiniBand Fourteen Data Rate
