Spectra7 and I-PEX to Demonstrate 800G Active Copper Internal Cables for Next Generation 25.6T Data Center Switches at OCP
Spectra7 Microsystems Inc. and I-PEX Inc. have announced a collaboration to offer the CABLINE®-CA IIEQ PLUS 112G active copper cable (ACC) featuring Spectra7's 112G PAM4 GC1122 GaugeChanger™ chips. This product will be demonstrated at the OCP Global Summit in San Jose, California, from October 15-17, 2024.
The CABLINE®-CA IIEQ PLUS 112G supports four lanes of 112 Gbps PAM4 data and offers a compact design that minimizes PCB footprint. It can use cables as small as 46 AWG, performing as well as larger 36 AWG cables while improving airflow and flexibility within equipment.
Spectra7's GaugeChanger™ technology allows copper to extend to longer lengths without the cost and power penalty of optics or DSP-based retimed copper solutions, achieving typical power savings of 700% to 1000%. I-PEX anticipates delivering cable samples to customers for qualification in the first half of 2025.
Spectra7 Microsystems Inc. e I-PEX Inc. hanno annunciato una collaborazione per offrire il CABLINE®-CA IIEQ PLUS 112G cavo attivo in rame (ACC) con i chip GaugeChanger™ GC1122 PAM4 da 112G di Spectra7. Questo prodotto sarà presentato al OCP Global Summit a San Jose, California, dal 15 al 17 ottobre 2024.
Il CABLINE®-CA IIEQ PLUS 112G supporta quattro corsie di dati a 112 Gbps PAM4 e offre un design compatto che minimizza l'ingombro della scheda PCB. Può utilizzare cavi di dimensioni fino a 46 AWG, offrendo prestazioni pari a quelle dei cavi più grandi da 36 AWG, migliorando nel contempo il flusso d'aria e la flessibilità all'interno delle attrezzature.
La tecnologia GaugeChanger™ di Spectra7 consente al rame di estendersi a lunghezze più lunghe senza il costo e la penalizzazione energetica delle soluzioni ottiche o delle soluzioni in rame ritrasmettedo basate su DSP, con un risparmio energetico tipico del 700% al 1000%. I-PEX prevede di fornire campioni di cavo ai clienti per la qualificazione nel primo semestre del 2025.
