Quadwire™ is a 40Gb/s parallel active optical cable for storage,
data, and high-performance computing connectivity. It transmits
error-free parallel 4x10Gb/s data over a multimode fiber (MMF) ribbon cable. Based on Finisar's
vertically integrated VCSEL array technology and designed with QSFP MSA-compliant high-density
connectors, these new cables are compact, lightweight, and low power. Quadwire is ideally suited
for datacenter reaches up to 100m for InfiniBand QDR, 40G Ethernet, and other datacom and
high-performance computing applications.
