- The Quad Small Form Factor Pluggable Double Density (QSFP-DD) Multi-Source Agreement (MSA) group announced today at the European Conference on Optical Communications (ECOC 2023) the release of a hardware specification revision 7.0.
- This new release updates the existing QSFP-DD MSA specification and introduces the QSFP-DD1600 module variant to drive further improvements in performance, scalability and power handling.
- The new specification maintains the form factor’s eight electrical lanes with each lane operating at the new higher 200 Gbps rate to provide an aggregate module bandwidth capacity of 1.6 Tbps.
- The 1.6 Tbps host port maintains backwards compatibility with the entire family of QSFP and QSFP-DD modules and cables.
