Molex Unites with Optical Internetworking Forum to Demonstrate High-Speed Interconnect Solutions at ECOC 2012

LISLE, IL – Molex Incorporated will join forces with other Optical Internetworking Forum (OIF) members in showcasing 100Gb/s interconnect speeds at the OIF interoperability live demonstrations during the ECOC 2012 Exhibition being held September 17-19 at the RAI Convention Center in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. ECOC Exhibition is the largest European optical communications event for professionals in the fiber optic technology industry.

Two of the ECOC demonstrations showcase interconnects—the world’s first QSFP-based interconnects to achieve data rates in excess of 100Gb/s—operating in the demonstrations at up to 25.78Gb/s per lane. Supporting OIF’s CEI-28G-VSR interfaces, 100Gb/s Ethernet and 100Gb/s Inifiniband* Enhanced Data Rate applications, the zQSFP+ Active Optical Cable and zQSFP+ electrical interconnects transmit rates up to 4km with excellent cooling, unparalleled signal integrity, superior EMI protection and the lowest power consumption in the optical industry.

As host of the exhibition’s multi-vendor demonstrations, OIF marks the initial European demonstration of the 28Gb/s interconnects with retimers and a Molex zQSFP+ Active Optical Cable. Live demonstrations will operate continuously while the show is open. The OIF physical and link layer interoperability demonstrations featuring the Molex zQSFP+ and Active Optical Cable and other OIF partner technologies are scheduled at OIF booth #269 during ECOC 2012 exhibition hours.
