Cable Assemblies for the 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10 GbE) Standard
Ethernet technology is the most deployed technology for high-performance LAN environments. The 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10 GbE) standard extends the standard protocols to a nominal data rate of 10 Gbps and expands the Ethernet application space.
Gore has drawn on its expertise in electronic cable design to develop GORE™ SFP+ Copper Cable Assemblies and GORE™ CX4 High-Performance Cable Assemblies to support 10 GbE applications in the high-performance computing (HPC), enterprise networking and network storage markets. These cable assemblies offer a more reliable, cost-effective, and lower power alternative to fiber optic modules for transmitting 10 Gbps data up to 25 meters.
- Ethernet (10GbE) SFP+ Copper Cable Assemblies
- GORE™ SFP+ Copper Cable Assemblies offer a cost-effective alternative to fiber optic modules for data transmission up to 10 meters for passive SFP+ links. These assemblies are designed to meet the emerging SFF-8431 standard for SFP+ interconnects.
- GORE™ CX4 High Performance Cable Assemblies
- GORE™ CX4 High Performance Cable Assemblies, part of the 10Gb Ethernet standard, provide superior signal fidelity over long distances using the smallest, most flexible cable.
- HSLink-CX4 Cable Assemblies (with thumbscrew style attachment)
- GORE™ Cable Assemblies for HSLink-CX4 utilize expanded PTFE, legacy cable and connector components, and established termination techniques to eliminate performance risks.
