2010—Siemon now offers 40+Gb/s SFF-8470 4X Passive Copper cabling
products. These SFF-8470 copper cable assemblies support high-speed
interconnect applications such as high-performance computing (HPC),
enterprise networking, and network storage systems. The low latency
assemblies support data transfer rates from 2.5Gb/s to 10+ Gb/s per
lane.
Siemon’s 8470 cable assemblies feature a shielded wafer construction
in which the signal conductors are directly attached to the
connector’s contacts, eliminating a printed circuit board and
enhancing noise-resistance to maximize signal integrity. The
twin-axial shielded cable conductors are laser-welded, reducing
cross-talk and jitter to support 10+Gb/s data rates. SFF-8470 die
cast back shells and latches are interoperable with all compliant
interfaces.
The 8470 product supports a wide array of data protocols and
interfaces, including InfiniBand SDR, DDR, and QDR, Ethernet
10GBaseCX4, and 40GBaseCR4. These cables also support FibreChannel,
RapidIO, Myrinet, SAS, SATA, Aurora, VITA VXS, and XAUI/XAUI-2 IO
interface links, as well as SONET/SDH.
Product options include 24 to 30 wire gauges and various assembly
lengths.
