Mouser Electronics, a leading New Product Introduction (NPI) distributor™ that supplies the broadest selection of semiconductors and electronic components, has announced that it supplies Samtec's Flyover® QSFP (FQSFP) cable system.

This high-performance cable system delivers critical data signals through low-loss, ultra-low skew Twinax cables instead of lossy PCBs, providing enhanced signal integrity and structural flexibility ideal for high-speed networking, digital video, and telecommunications.

The FQSFP cable system is designed for 28Gbps to 56+Gbps applications where signal integrity is critical and is compatible with all MSA QSFP pluggable transceivers.

The FQSFP design combined with Eye Speed® Twinax cables provides enhanced signal integrity and increased signal path length at higher data rates up to 400Gbps (112Gbps PAM4).

The FQSFP cable system simplifies board layout and reduces thermal issues, and direct-attach contacts inside the connector body eliminate transition boards for optimized signal integrity.

The Flyover design includes localized press-in control and power contacts that reduce air flow obstruction and eliminate the need for auxiliary cables and connectors. Dual-port architecture is supported for maximum density.

The FQSFP cable system maximizes design flexibility through a variety of End 2 options. These options include mini-edge card connectors in vertical or horizontal orientation, edge card sockets, FireFly™ Micro Flyover connectors, and high-speed press-in connectors. Additional accessories include connector cages, heat sinks, and light pipes.

The FQSFP cable system supports a variety of protocols perfect for applications such as data centers, high-speed networking, digital video, and telecommunications, including Ethernet, USB 3.0, PCIe® 3.0 and 4.0, IB FDR, IB EDR, optical, SAS, and SATA.
