As customers adopt 400G for data center connectivity, the ability to use AEC’s to deploy lighter gauge, lighter weight, and superior bend radius solutions that also deliver longer reach for 50G PAM4 technology offers customers a major cost savings for high-bandwidth intra-rack and inter-rack connectivity vs currently-available optical solutions.
“The extended reach capability of Credo’s Active Ethernet Cables enables data center customers to drastically reduce cap-ex by leveraging high radix 12.8Tbps switch solutions from Innovium to span across multiple server-storage racks”, said Amit Sanyal, VP of Product Management and Marketing at Innovium. “Innovium, the only provider of a low-latency, programmable 12.8Tbps switch silicon in the market, is excited to partner with Credo to announce the successful demonstration of 100-400G interoperability with Credo's unique portfolio of Active Ethernet Cables”.
“Credo’s Active Ethernet Cables in conjunction with innovative 12.8T switch solutions from Innovium are intended to help accelerate the deployment of 400G Data Center infrastructure. In addition to superior cost and power performance, Credo AEC’s are uniquely capable of providing Gearbox functionality within the cable to increase Data Center architecture flexibility”, said Job Lam, Credo Co-Founder and inventor of the AEC. “The AEC’s allow for easy retrofit upgrade paths as the 400G eco-system evolves. The deterministic nature of the solution also eliminates copper variability inherent in Direct Attached Copper Cables (DACs) and insures error free data transfer”.
