(SFP28) 28 GBPS PLUGGABLE
I/O INTERCONNECT
The zSFP+ interconnect is currently one of the fastest single-channel I/O connectors on the market today, transferring data at 28
Gbps with possible expansion to 40 Gbps. Through a design that is backward-compatible to SFP/SFP+ products, the interconnect is
hot-swappable with existing SFP+ connectors for fast system upgrades of 28-40Gbps. Alternatively, users can design-in the zSFP+
connector for 10-16 Gbps data rates, establishing a progressive path to higher speeds–an upgradeability that can result in longterm
cost savings as this would eliminate the need to fully redesign for higher performance.
The zSFP+ interconnect is compliant to SFF-8402 and has been adopted for Fibre Channel 32G (28.05 Gbps line rate). The entire
product family is offered as a dual source option with Molex. LLC.

SFP28 Passive Copper Cable Assemblies
Our SFP28 passive copper cable assembly features two differential copper pairs, providing one data transmission channel at
speeds up to 28 Gbps per channel that meets 25G Ethernet performance requirements.
Offered in a broad range of wire gages – from 30AWG through 33AWG – this next generation copper cable assembly features
low insertion loss and low cross talk. Our SFP28 assemblies share the same mating interface with SFP+ form factors, making
them backward compatible with existing SFP+ I/O ports. SFP28 cable assemblies can be used with legacy 10G Ethernet and
16G Fibre Channel applications with substantial signal integrity margin.
In addition to SFP28 straight cables, we offer break out assemblies with a 100G QSFP28 module on one end splitting to four
SFP28 modules on the opposite end of the assembly. In-line signal integrity (SI) based production testing ensures that each
cable assembly meets the electrical performance requirements of the applicable industry standard specification.
Features and Benefits
•
Compatible with IEEE 802.3by and Fibre Channel industry standards
•
Supports single lane data rate up to 28Gbps
•
Optimized construction to minimize insertion loss and cross talk
