The purpose of this test report is to provide the frequency response performance characteristics of various Siemon hybrid cable assemblies. The results include insertion loss, return loss and near end crosstalk. Siemon's hybrid fanout cables break a single 40Gb/s QSFP+ connector into four individual 10Gb/s SFP+ connectors, allowing users to connect multiple ports of SFP+ equipment to QSFP+ based equipment with a single, easy-to-manage assembly. The direct-attach hybrid assembly's four hot-pluggable SFP+ connectors are factory-terminated to twin-axial shielded cable to provide superior signal integrity in support 10+Gb/s high frequency data rates.
