Lane Extenders for InfiniBand Applications
InfiniBand based solutions are expanding rapidly with the growth led by increased usage in the high performance computing community, commercial datacenters and large server cluster environments. The growth of these interconnects is currently limited by the reach achievable with standard copper cables. Quellan’s QLx Quad Lane Extenders tailored for InfiniBand applications serve achieve dramatic improvements in signal integrity of InfiniBand interconnects for backplanes, line cards and swih cards, and allow the extension of interconnect reach with Active Copper.
DESIGN BENEFITS
- 300% signal reach extension
- Thinner, smaller copper cable gauge
- Use of cost effective FR4 PCB laminates
- Use of simple ASICS with no digital signal processing
- Extends the life of legacy platforms
END-USER BENEFITS
- Efficiently maximize data center connectivity
- Lower data center operation costs
- Dramatically reduced power consumption
