Major Cable Supplier to Serve Both North
America and China Data Center Markets for Interconnect Speeds up to
800 Gbps and 1.6T bps
SAN
JOSE, Calif., Jan. 16,
2024 /CNW/ -- (TSXV: SEV) (OTCQB: SPVNF)
Spectra7 Microsystems Inc. ("Spectra7" or the
"Company"), a leading provider of high-performance analog
semiconductor products for broadband connectivity markets, today
announced that it has received its first order for production
GC1122 chips supporting Active Copper Cables (ACCs) operating at
speeds up to 800 Gbps and 1.6 Tbps. The order has come from a major
China cable supplier who serves
both the North America and
China data center markets.
"We are excited to receive the first order for our production
GC1122 chips," said Spectra7 CEO Raouf
Halim. "Cables using these chips will be used in
qualification at major Hyperscalers in both North America and China, and continues our progress with
hyperscale data center customers deploying the most advanced
implementations, such as artificial intelligence. Hyperscalers are
increasingly sensitive to the high power requirements for other
cabling options, which can exceed the power required by the switch
itself. Spectra7's ACC cables provide a unique solution to this
challenge and reduce both the capital cost and operating cost of a
hyperscale data center."
"We expect these qualification activities to be complete in Q2
in order to support significant deployments in the second half of
2024 at several Hyperscalers," said Mr. Halim. "We also
believe the ACC connectivity market opportunity is estimated to
reach $1 billion by
20271."
Spectra7's analog based GaugeChanger™ GC1122
chips are used in Active Copper Cables (ACCs) and offer significant
cost, size and energy consumption savings vs. competing Active
Electrical Cables (AECs) and Active Optical Cables (AOCs) that use
Digital Signal Processing (DSP) technologies.
Notes:

model based on 650Group silicon chipsets for Ethernet optical
transceivers and active cable alternatives posted July 2023. This is forward looking information.
