Spectra7 and Foxconn to Demonstrate 400Gbps PAM4 Active Copper Cables

Retrieved on: 
Monday, August 16, 2021

At lower speeds of 25Gbps, 40Gbps and 100Gbps these servers have been connected with passive direct attached copper (DAC) cables.

Key Points: 
  • At lower speeds of 25Gbps, 40Gbps and 100Gbps these servers have been connected with passive direct attached copper (DAC) cables.
  • Now at 400Gbps, Hyperscalers are requiring thinner and more flexible cables to accommodate the increased rack density.
  • Bringing a 400Gbps passive DAC to each server is challenging, as these cables are usually 26AWG and extremely difficult to route.
  • Spectra7's GaugeChangerTM chips allow smaller gauges down to 34AWG copper to be used thus dramatically improving both measurements.
