AppliedMicro and TE Connectivity Collaborate to Develop High-Speed Cable Connectivity Solutions for Data Center Networks
March 23 2015 - 8:00AM
Applied Micro Circuits Corporation (Nasdaq:AMCC) and TE
Connectivity (NYSE:TEL) today announced their collaboration to
develop high-speed cable connectivity solutions for data center
networks.
The collaboration will result in active copper cables for
connecting servers to top-of-rack (TOR) switches at 50Gbps and
40Gbps speeds using AppliedMicro's DSP-based transceiver and TE
Connectivity's high-speed copper cable assemblies.
Rapid growth in data center and the ever-increasing CPU density
within a rack typically create challenges in managing cable
connections to the TOR switches while still maintaining the airflow
required for cooling. By enabling market leading bandwidth over
copper cables, data center operators will be able to reduce the
number of cables connecting CPUs to TOR switches by up to 75
percent resulting in higher manageability, better cooling and lower
cost.
"TE's high-performance copper cable assemblies, based on Madison
TurboTwin parallel pair copper cable with unique drainless
construction, provide the low insertion loss and low cross-talk
margin necessary to support both NRZ and PAM4 signaling as will be
required by networking and hyper-scale computing customers," said
Omar Hassen, Associate Vice President at AppliedMicro. "Available
in a broad range of wire gauges from 24 to 33 gauge and with cables
from two pairs up to eight pairs in jacketed cable and breakout
configurations, TE's copper cable assemblies are ideal for
connecting server clusters, switches, routers and transport
equipment in current and future data center requirements."
"AppliedMicro's 28nm low-power, high-speed PAM transceivers
represent tremendous value to data center operators. They reside at
the heart of cost, performance and manageability that will be
required by tomorrow's cloud-based economy," said Arash Behziz,
technologist on TE's system architecture team.
AppliedMicro and TE Connectivity will be showcasing their
high-speed cable connectivity solutions at OFC in Los Angeles,
booth no. 2631.
