Demonstration at SuperComputing 2018 to
Highlight 200/400G QSFP-DD Solution
Spectra7 Microsystems Inc. (TSX:SEV) (“Spectra7” or the
“Company”), a leading provider of high-performance analog
semiconductor products for broadband connectivity markets,
announced that Molex, a leader in high performance interconnects,
has selected Spectra7’s GaugeChanger™ technology for integration
into a new line of Active Copper Cables to include SFP, QSFP and
QSFP-DD form factors. Additionally, Molex and Spectra7 will be
demonstrating the technology at the SuperComputing 2018 (SC18) show
at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center in Dallas, TX from
November 13-15.
"Spectra7 has created a compelling solution to address the
dramatically increasing power and cost of data center
interconnects," said Joe Dambach, New Product Development Manager,
Molex. “We are looking forward to collaborating with the team
at SC18.”
"Molex is a technology and market leader in the data center
interconnect market," said Spectra7 CEO Raouf Halim. "The
adoption of our GaugeChanger™ technology by Molex is a significant
milestone in the coming volume deployment of our data center
product line."
GaugeChanger™ is an innovative and disruptive technology that
allows copper to extend much longer lengths without the cost and
power penalty of optics. It works equally well at 25 Gbps NRZ and
50 Gbps PAM-4 enabling new connector standards of 100, 200 and 400
Gbps.
Molex recently launched its QSFP-DD (Quad Small Form
Factor–Double Density) Interconnect System and Cable Assemblies.
This system is designed to meet or exceed Ethernet, Fibre Channel,
and InfiniBand port density requirements in high-speed enterprise,
telecommunications and data networking equipment. Molex is working
to meet the rising demand for 100 Gbps, 200 Gbps and 400 Gbps
networking solutions. The Molex system along with Spectra7’s
GaugeChanger™ technology offers up to 12 times less power and
significant cost savings over optical solutions for data center
customers.
Molex will be showcasing products with Spectra7’s GaugeChanger™
technology at Booth 3941 at SC18.
