QSFP (or quad SFP) connectors provide four channels of data in one pluggable interface. Each channel is capable of transferring data up to 14 Gbps, supporting a total of 56 Gbps. These interconnects have 3x the density of SFP+ interconnects. The QSFP product family includes cages in single and ganged configurations with various heat sink and lightpipe options. The connector is a 38-position, high-speed SMT connector. EMI plugs are offered for empty ports.

TE Connectivity offers PARALIGHT active optical QSFP+ cable assemblies, which eliminate the need for a separate transceiver and optical interface. The QSFP+ direct attach copper cable assemblies are a high-speed and cost-effective alternative to fiber optics in short-reach 10Gb Ethernet and 14Gb InfiniBand FDR applications. These assemblies enable hardware OEMs and data center operators to achieve higher port density and configurability at a low cost while reducing the power requirement.
