Point 2 Technology Introduces Low Power 400G Active Electrical Cable for Data Centers and High-Performance Computing
Point 2 Technology, a leading provider of high performance, low power connectivity solutions for Cloud and 5G infrastructure, today introduced its first 400GBASE-SR4 Active Electrical Cable (AEC) for use in Distributed Disaggregated Chassis (DDC) employed in data centers and high-performance computer (HPC) systems.
- Point 2 Technology, a leading provider of high performance, low power connectivity solutions for Cloud and 5G infrastructure, today introduced its first 400GBASE-SR4 Active Electrical Cable (AEC) for use in Distributed Disaggregated Chassis (DDC) employed in data centers and high-performance computer (HPC) systems.
- It is far more affordable, has greater reach, and lower power consumption than other passive copper cable (PCC) solutions.
- Active electrical cables have distinct advantages over their passive direct attach copper (DAC) and active optical cable (AOC) counterparts for short-reach applications.
- As a result, AECs have become widely adopted by data centers and HPC systems, especially when the DDC architecture is used.
