Mellanox® MC220731V is a family of VCSEL-based (Vertical Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser) QSFP+active optical cable (AOC) designed for use in 40GbE Ethernet and 56Gb/s Virtual Port Interconnect (VPI)systems. This family of AOCs offers high port density and configurability, as well as a longer reach thanpassive copper cables in data centers. Since the AOC is hot pluggable, it is easy to install and replace.The MC220731V family has a standard SFF-8685 compliant QSFP+ port on the electrical side towards thehost system.MC220731V AOCs contain four multi-mode fibers (MMF) optical transceivers per end, each operatingat data rates of up to 14.0625Gb/s. The transmitters have input equalizers compensating for signalattenuation across the host PCB, and the receivers have programmable output amplitude andpre-emphasis.Rigorous production testing ensures the best out-of-the-box installation experience, performance anddurability.Table 1 - Absolute Maximum Ratings
