The Siemon Company has announced a portfolio of flexible direct attach copper (DAC) and active copper cable (ACC/AEC) assemblies for high-speed switch-to-switch and switch-to-server/storage applications.
Supporting Ethernet and InfiniBand™ at speeds up to 800G, the cables are designed to optimie performance and simplify cable management in today’s demanding data centre environments.
Siemon’s new 200G, 400G, and 800G DAC and active copper cable assemblies demonstrate the company’s commitment to high performance, reliability, and best-in-class cable management. These assemblies are rigorously tested for interoperability, performance, and signal quality at PAM4 speeds and are compatible with OSFP, QSFP-DD, QSFP, SFP-DD, and SFP112 connectors.
The new generation of DAC and active copper cables enable low-power, low-latency copper cable deployments at next-generation 800G network speeds. With a smaller bend radius and 40 per cent smaller cable diameter compared to traditional jacketed cable,
Siemon is simplifying 800G deployments. Siemon also provides superior technical support for new system configurations, setups, and cable qualification needs.
