Spectra7 Partners With Luxshare on Next Generation 800Gbps Data Center Interconnects
SAN JOSE, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–(TSX-V:SEV) Spectra7 Microsystems Inc. (“Spectra7” or the “Company”), a leading provider of high-performance analog semiconductor products for broadband connectivity markets, today announced that Luxshare will evaluate on next generation 800Gbps Active Copper Cable (ACC) interconnects using Spectra7’s new GC1122 solution.
“Spectra7 has created a compelling solution to address the dramatically increasing power and cost of data center interconnects. We are seeing significant interest from our largest customers for 800Gbps ACCs,” said Jinhua Chen, Enterprise GM at Luxshare-ICT.
“We are thrilled to have Luxshare as a partner for our 800Gbps GaugeChanger™ technology,” said Spectra7 CEO Raouf Halim. “They are a technology leader in the hyperscale interconnect market.”
The GC1122 is the latest addition to the GaugeChanger™ product line and extends the data rate from 56Gbps 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 and disruptive technology that allows copper to extend much longer lengths without the cost and power penalty of optics. It works equally well at 25Gbps NRZ, 50Gbps PAM-4 and 100Gbps PAM-4 enabling new connector standards of 100, 200, 400 and 800Gbps.
