CXP Optical Cable Assemblies FEATURES AND SPECIFICATIONS CXP optical cable assemblies from Molex offer improved fiber management for connecting CXP transceivers and complete Molex’s iPass+ High-Speed Channel (HSC) CXP Copper and Optical System Molex’s low-profile CXP optical 4.50mm round cable assemblies offer improved fiber management over traditional flat cables for connecting CXP transceivers. The CXP optical cable assemblies utilize 24 fibers using industry-standard MTP/MPO connectors, 12 transmit (TX) and 12 receive (RX), and 10 Gbps high-bandwidth (OM3) fiber. This design meets the InfiniBand bandwidth requirements for CXP modules spaced up to 300.00m (984.25’). Molex’s CXP optical cable assemblies are part of the iPass+ HSC CXP system, which is the latest addition to the existing iPass product family. The iPass Interconnect System offers connectors and cables that enable flexible-speed compatibility for applications ranging from 1 to 10 Gbps and is an ideal solution for the growing server-storage market. For additional information, visit: www.molex.com/link/cxp.html. Molex provides a complete optical CXP solution with cable assemblies and loopbacks. Products include MTP/MPO-to-LC cable assemblies for connections to Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) or LC patch panels. Loopbacks feature a compact housing that loop optical TX to RX ports for testing, burn-in and field troubleshooting.
