CS™ fiber path cables are available to interconnect or cross connect fiber networks within structured cabling systems, including data centers using 200/400G QSFP-DD and OSFP transceivers. The reduced size CS™ connector is capable of delivering low insertion and high return loss comparable to existing LC connectors. In addition to allowing a double density interconnect at the transceiver, it is also well suited to allow more than a doubling of fiber interconnect density within the structured cabling infrastructure space.
Features
Designed for next generation 200/400G QSFP- DD & OSFP
40% size reduction compared to LC Duplex standard LC
Double the density in patch panel compared to
Push/Pull tab for a better usability in high density applications
Factory terminated and tested for insertion loss, return loss and end face
Application
400G QSFP-DD/OSFP optical module direct connection solution
Two CS-CS single-mode fiber patch cables can be used for 400G QSFO-DD/OSFP optical module direct connection.
400G QSFP-DD/OSFP-2x200G QSFP56 optical module direct connection
Two CS-LC single-mode fiber patch cables can be used to connect 400G QSFO-DD/OSFP to 200G QSFP56 optical module.
400G QSFP-DD/OSFP-2x200G QSFP56 optical modules direct connection
The backbone line uses MPO fiber patch cable to connect high-density wiring box and pre-terminated module box to realize high-density wiring, and CS to LC fiber patch cable is used to connect near equipment end to realize 400G integrated wiring.
