Point 2 Technology introduces 400G AEC for data centers and HPC systems - Help Net Security

Point 2 Technology introduced its first 400GBASE-SR4 Active Electrical Cable (AEC) for use in Distributed Disaggregated Chassis (DDC) employed in data centers and high-performance computer (HPC) systems.


The new PT-QD20132 employs Point2’s C-Tube AEC and is built on a vertically-developed PAM4 SoC in a rugged cable assembly that delivers performance equivalent to active optical fiber cables (AOC) for rack and mid-tier interconnect.


It is far more affordable, has greater reach, and lower power consumption than other passive copper cable (PCC) solutions. Point2 has partnered with other Tier 1 module manufacturers to deliver the PAM SoC and an extensive reference design so C-Tube can be sourced from multiple suppliers, making it a more ubiquitous alternative to single source solutions.


“Point2 has been developing industry leading, low-power, high-speed connectivity solutions for the past three years to resp ..
