IBM compatible BN-QS-QS-CBL-7M Description

BN-QS-QS-CBL-7M is IBM compatible 40G Passive Twinax Cable, operating over passive copper cable. 40G Passive Twinax Cable is equipped with MSA standard compatible QSFP+ transceiver assembly at each end of cable. IBM BN-QS-QS-CBL-7M 40G Passive Twinax Cable supports 2.125-41.2 Gbps data rate and such applications as 4 x InfiniBand QDR (32Gbps)|4 x InfiniBand DDR (16Gbps)|4 x InfiniBand SDR (8Gbps)|40G Ethernet (41.25Gbps)|10G Ethernet (10.31Gbps)|10G Fiber Channel (10.52 Gbps)|8G Fiber Channel (8.5 Gbps)|4G Fiber Channel (4.25 Gbps)|2G Fiber Channel (2.125 Gbps). Most popular applications of 40G Passive Twinax Cable are cost effective close range interconnections within equipment room of telecom operators or data centers, interconnecting LAN or SAN applications with speeds up to 40G.

40G Passive Twinax Cable is CE/RoHS certified and it is compliant with product safety standards. We perform compatibility tests for IBM compatible BN-QS-QS-CBL-7M 40G Passive Twinax Cable with latest platforms of IBM networking equipment, which allows us to encode Passive Twinax Cable EEPROM memory to be compatible and work seamlessly with IBM platforms. However, our 40G Passive Twinax Cable complies with QSFP+ Multi Source Agreement SFF-8436 as well. Because our focus is providing top quality service, we are performing serious quality checks before delivery of our products. As a result, we do parameter measurements and Passive Cable EEPROM memory data validation tests.
