Volex will Offer Active Copper Cables with
Spectra7's GC1122 GaugeChanger™ Chips
SAN
JOSE, Calif., March 30,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- (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 Volex will support next generation 800Gbps, 400Gbps,
200Gbps and 100Gbps Active Copper Cable (ACC) interconnects using
Spectra7's new GC1122 GaugeChanger™ chips.
"Spectra7 has produced a compelling solution for 112G PAM4
signaling to address the dramatically increasing power and cost of
data center interconnects," said Alan Huang, Sr Product Manager,
Data Center Products at Volex. "We are seeing significant interest
from hyperscale customers for 800 Gbps ACCs with Spectra7
technology and are pleased to be working with them."
"We are thrilled to have Volex as a collaborator for our 800Gbps
GaugeChanger™ technology," said Spectra7 CEO Raouf Halim. "They are an aggressive and proven
high quality and high volume player in the hyperscale interconnect
market."
The GC1122 is the latest addition to the GaugeChanger™ product
line and extends the data rate from 56 to 112Gbps per lane. Since
the GC1122 is analog and highly linear, dynamics such as line rate
adjustment, multi-level signaling, intermittent line silence,
transmit pre-emphasis or amplitude adjustment and receiver
adaptivity are fully preserved.
GaugeChanger™ is an innovative technology that allows copper to
extend much longer lengths without the cost and power penalty of
optics or DSP based retimed copper solutions. It works equally well
at 25 Gbps NRZ, 50 Gbps PAM-4 and 100 Gbps PAM-4 enabling new
connector standards of 100, 200, 400 and 800 Gbps.
