Features and Benefits:
• Support for 40GBASE Ethernet
• Hot-swappable input/output device that plugs into a 40-Gigabit Ethernet QSFP+ Cisco switch port
• Flexibility of interface choice
• Interoperable with other IEEE-compliant 40GBASE interfaces available in various form factors
• Support for "pay-as-you-populate" model
• Support for the Cisco quality identification (ID) feature which enables a Cisco switch to identify whether the module is certified and tested by Cisco
• Small profile is easy to handle and minimizes air flow:
    • Light weight (10 m cable weighs ~ 180g)
    • Flexible cable with 35mm bend radius and cable diameter of 3.3mm
    • Profile maximizes air flow relative to copper cables to reduce cooling cost and save energy
• QSFP form-factor for enhanced electrical/mechanical performance:
    • Improved signal integrity relative to CX4 connector
    • Improved connection stability and ruggedness relative to CX4
• Low incremental power consumption relative to passive copper cables:
    • 0.9 W typical per end (1.8 W end to end)
• Low lantency:
    • Latency compatible to passive copper cable solution
    • Low electromagnetic interference
• ROHS compliant

Dimensions:
• Maximum outer dimensions for the QSFP+ connector module are (H x W x D): 13.5 x 18.4 x 72.4 mm.
• QSFP+ connector module typically weigh 100 grams or less.

Operating temperature range:
• Commercial temperature range: 0 to 70°C (32 to 158°F)
• Storage temperature range: -40 to 85°C (-40 to 185°F)
