Abstract
Techniques are provided for an adapter device configured to enable communications between a quad small form-factor pluggable (QSFP) transceiver unit and a CXP host port. The adapter device comprises a first connector unit, a second connector unit, a microcontroller unit and a plurality of reception equalizer units. Data signals are sent by the transceiver unit to a first equalizer unit via the first connector unit. The first equalizer unit adjusts the data signals and sends the data signals to the host port via the second connector unit. Likewise, data signals are sent by the host port to a second equalizer unit via the second connector unit. The second equalizer unit adjusts the data signals and sends the data signals to the transceiver unit via the first connector unit.
