SAN JOSE, Calif., Feb. 2, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Xilinx, Inc.
(NASDAQ:XLNX) today announced a transceiver technology
breakthrough, bringing greater cost efficiency to data center
interconnects. Xilinx's Virtex® UltraScale™ devices have achieved
compliance to the 25GE, 50GE and 100GE copper cable and backplane
IEEE and related specifications which supports up to five meters of
copper cabling in the data center and up to one meter of backplane
interconnect. These specifications include the IEEE 802.3bj
100GBASE-CR4/KR4, IEEE 802.3by 25GBASE-CR/CR-S/KR/KR-S, and 25
Gigabit Ethernet Consortium 50GBASE-CR2/KR2. Data center customers
can now leverage nx25G lanes of copper cabling versus optics for
more cost and power-optimized solutions to connect servers to
top-of-rack switches using any off-the-shelf,
specification-compliant vendor.
