LEONI offers active 400 G solutions with low power consumption for sustainable data centers
- Longer transmission links with Active Copper Cables
- First Active Optical Cables with silicon photonics technology
5G and ‘Big Data’ – transmission bandwidth requirements for cables are growing with digitalisation. Active copper and fiber cables from Leoni are prepared and transmit safely 400 Gbit/s and more. Leoni’s ACCs and AOCs for QSFP-DD and OSFP interfaces convince with maximum transmission distances and low energy consumption. They confirm to IEEE, MSA and SFF standards. Besides Point-to-Point-interconnects, Leoni also disposes QSFP-DD or OSFP to 4xQSFP28 breakout versions in its range of products.
ACC: Low power consumption with higher performance
Thanks to an integrated repeater chip, Leoni’s ‘NEXT copper generation’ transmits data over up to 7 m consuming power of less than 2 W per end. Despite the extended transmission distance, the active copper cable keeps its high performance and makes 400 G data transmission the standard. Especially hyperscalers benefit from the compact, flexible and heat resistant cable solution as its extended performance and energy savings pay off more with many kilometres of cables installed. Due to low energy consumption and higher performance, costs can be saved and environment is less impacted.
AOC: New silicon photonics in use
The active fiber optic cable solution with silicon photonics chip and QSFP-DD form factor from Leoni transmits 400 G over up to 100 m consuming less than 12 W of power per end. For the first time Leoni offers silicon photonics technology with AOCs, too.
Our used silicon photonics technology is characterised by a monolithic chip. Monolithic means that nano-electrical and nano-photonical structures are integrated in one chip. Thus, maximum integration with minimum power consumption is ensured. Within the cable, the QSFP-DD plug design is connected to the innovative chip, which is coupled to proprietary single mode fibers.
Leoni will soon present first AOCs with silicon photonics for OSFP interfaces, too.
