GORE™ Extended Reach Cable Assemblies

GORE™ EYE-OPENER+® Conductor Technology provides the optimum signal pre-conditioning to Quellan’s active equalization circuitry. This technology significantly improves the eye opening and BER, making GORE™ Extended Reach Cable Assemblies the highest performing, most reliable InfiniBand cables on the market.

Quellan’s Q:ACTIVE® architecture works by compensating for signal impairments associated with long transmission distances. The analog CMOS device is housed within the connector assembly, is extremely low power—just 60 mW/channel, and adds virtually no latency to the overall link.

The technologies combine to liberate system architects, giving them new degrees of freedom to reliably scale HPC clusters with smaller, lighter weight GORE™ Extended Reach Cable Assemblies.

Key Benefits of GORE™ EYE-OPENER+® Conductor Technology with Active Silicon

• Improved architectural freedom
  • Maximizes cable reach up to 3X passive cables
  • Improves flexibility and bend radius by utilizing smaller cable gauge sizes
  • Reduces weight and volume by more than half
  • Increases airflow to improve cooling and reliability
  • Boosts system performance margins
    
• Lowest power solution, just 60 mW/channel
• Virtually no added latency (<500 ps per channel analog conditioning)
• Meets all relevant IBTA Specifications
• Utilizes the same overall connector profile as IB and CX4
• Lowest cost interconnect for DDR IB lengths from 10m to 20m

Applications

• InfiniBand SDR, DDR and proprietary systems
• Server Blade Systems
