GORE™ Single Data Rate (SDR) and Double Data Rate (DDR) InfiniBand Cable Assemblies
GORE™ InfiniBand™ Assemblies provide superior signal fidelity over long distances using the smallest, most flexible cable. The assemblies are engineered to be compliant with the IBTA specifications, and to work beyond the standard InfiniBand data rate (up to 5 Gbits/sec/channel). They are available in standard lengths up to 20 meters, but can also be purchased for custom applications in a variety of gauge sizes and lengths up to 50 meters*.
GORE™ InfiniBand™ Cable Assemblies incorporate semiautomated manufacturing, innovative cable and connector designs, and unique materials to provide interconnects ideally suited for InfiniBand™ applications. GORE™ InfiniBand™ Assemblies use low dielectric materials and GORE™ EYE-OPENER+® Technology to deliver exceptional signal fidelity over long distances in the smallest cross-sectional area.
The GORE™ InfiniBand™ Assemblies are available up to 50 meters for non-standard or proprietary applications.
