QSFP+ to MiniSAS-HD AOC
PRODUCT NUMBER: TQS-19EH8-XCAxx
Description
Formerica OptoElectronics Inc. QSFP+-to-Mini-SAS HD active optical cable (AOC), with
two-ends mechanical interfaces of QSFP+ and MiniSAS HD, respectively, is of highperformance with full-duplex and aggregate 48-Gbps bandwidth for SAS-3 protocol in
storage applications. Compared to conventional copper cables, longer, lighter, and flexible
optical cables enable the ease of complicated data-center cablings because of its small
cable diameter of only 3-mm. High-quality of 850-nm VCSELs and PIN PDs are utilized in the
AOC cables, with superior signal integrity and bit-error-rate performance, which enables
reliable operation performance.
The Mini-SAS HD end of AOC is followed by SFF-8644 MSA in the SAS-3.0 standard,
whose reduced size of connector provides premium board space for implementing more I/O
ports. The single land speed is up to 12-Gbps to fulfill SAS-3 standard, also backward to
fully compliant with SAS-2.1 of 6-Gbps land speed. Also, the out-of-band (OOB) low-speed
hand-shaking communication is also supported with optical mold selection. This cable can
be compliant to 40GBASE-SR4 Ethernet or 40-Gbps QDR InfiniBand protocol to meet
several existing standards.
Features
 Backwards compatible to 6-Gbps SAS-2.1 of optical-mode capable systems with outof-band (OOB) signal supported.
 4Tx/Rx, Full-Duplex AOCs, Maximum aggregate speed of 48-Gbps for SAS3.0
 Bit-Error-Rate (BER) better than 10-12.
 Link length up to 100-m via OM3 MMF.
 Round cable with small 3.0-mm outer diameter for flexible routing and easy cable
management.
 MiniSAS HD and QSFP+ connector compliant to SFF-8644 and SFF-8436, respectively.
 Management interface compliant to SFF-8636.

Notes:
1. Power supply noise is defined as peak-to-peak noise amplitude over 1k to 15MHz frequency
range at host supply side by the recommended power supply filter for module.
2. Bit-Error-Rate (BER) is tested with PRBS231-1 pattern.
3. Longer cable length (up to 150-m via OM4) is available upon customer requrest.

Notes:
1. “Initialization Time” is the time from when the supply voltages reach and remain above the
minimum “Recommended Operating Conditions” to the time when the module enables
TWS access. The module at that point is fully functional.
2. Refer to the 12Gbps active cable eye mask from SAS-3 working draft Rev. 05a of Figure 101
and Table 31.

Note:
1. GND is the symbol for signal and supply (power) common for the QSFP+ module. All
are common within the QSFP+ module and all module voltages are referenced to
this potential unless otherwise noted. Connect these directly to the host board signalcommon ground plane.
2. Vcc Rx, Vcc1 and Vcc Tx are the receiver and transmitter power supplies and shall
be applied concurrently. Requirements defined for the host side of the Host Edge
Card Connector are listed in Table . Recommended host board power supply filtering
is shown in next page. Vcc Rx Vcc1 and Vcc Tx may be internally connected within
the QSFP+ module in any combination. The connector pins are each rated for a
maximum current of 500 mA.
