Abstract

A Quad Small Form-Factor Pluggable (QSFP) transceiver module is provided that is configured to interface with a QSFP host and to send and receive a plurality of data signals at a data rate of up to forty gigabits per second (40 G). A plurality of 10GBase-T ports with Registered Jack (RJ) 45 connectors is also provided, wherein each of the 10GBase-T ports is configured to interface with a 10GBase-T device to send and receive a plurality of data signals at a data rate of ten gigabits per second (10 G). Cables are configured to interface with the QSFP transceiver module and with corresponding ones of the 10GBase-T ports with the RJ45 connectors. Each of the plurality of cables operates as a data channel for data flow between the QSFP transceiver module and the corresponding ones of the 10GBase-T ports with the RJ45 connectors.
