QSFP
The QSFP is a very mature form-factor and is typically used for datacenter connectivity. The QSFP family spans several generations and supports data rates from 40Gb/s to 200Gb/s. Reaches of 100m to 2km are supported with multi-mode and single-mode technologies. The QSFP+, QSFP28, and QSFP56 generations are compliant with industry standards and support digital control and diagnostics.
