FEATURES AND SPECIFICATIONS
CXP Optical Cable Assemblies
CXP optical cable assemblies from Molex offer improved fiber management for connecting CXP
transceivers and complete Molex’s iPass+ High-Speed Channel (HSC) CXP Copper and Optical System
Molex’s low-profile CXP optical 4.50mm round cable
assemblies offer improved fiber management over
traditional flat cables for connecting CXP
transceivers. The CXP optical cable assemblies utilize
24 fibers using industry-standard MTP/MPO
connectors, 12 transmit (TX) and 12 receive (RX),
and 10 Gbps high-bandwidth (OM3) fiber. This
design meets the InfiniBand bandwidth requirements
for CXP modules spaced up to 300.00m (984.25’).
Molex’s CXP optical cable assemblies are part of the
iPass+ HSC CXP system, which is the latest addition
to the existing iPass product family. The iPass
Interconnect System offers connectors and cables
that enable flexible-speed compatibility for
applications ranging from 1 to 10 Gbps and is an
ideal solution for the growing server-storage market.

Molex provides a complete optical CXP solution with
cable assemblies and loopbacks. Products include
MTP/MPO-to-LC cable assemblies for connections to
Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) or LC patch
panels. Loopbacks feature a compact housing that
loop optical TX to RX ports for testing, burn-in and
field troubleshooting.
