Siemon unveils 10+Gb/s SFP+ passive copper cabling products for high performance data centers

Feb. 10, 2010
The company has introduced a line of SFP+ copper cable assemblies developed as a lower-power alternative to optical cables for short reach links in high-speed interconnect applications such as high-performance computing (HPC), enterprise networking and network storage systems.

Siemon has released its 10+Gb/s SFP+ Passive Copper cabling product family. The SFP+ copper cable assemblies were developed as a lower-power alternative to optical cables for short reach links in high-speed interconnect applications such as high-performance computing (HPC), enterprise networking and network storage systems. The low latency assemblies support data transfer rates up to 10+ Gb/s per lane, exceeding the stringent electrical SFF-8431 and mechanical SFF-8432 Standards Specifications.

The 10+Gb/s SFP+ products support an array of data protocols/interfaces, including 8Gb/s FibreChannel HCA, 10Gb/s FibreChannel SAN, 10Gb/s FibreChannel over Ethernet, 10Gb/s Ethernet single lane, 10Gb/s InfiniBand QDR single lane and various 10Gb/s Unified Architecture network links as well as other 10Gb/s Switch and Host Controller Adapter card and high performance links.

“These same cables support serial single lane applications, such as RapidIO, RocketIO and other value-added IO interface links,” notes Ed Cady, Business Development Manager for Siemon.

Product options available include varied EEPROM programming, wire gauges and assembly lengths for specific applications.

Siemon Announces New 10+Gb/s SFP+ Passive Copper Cabling Products for High Performance Data Centers

Watertown, Connecticut (Vocus/PRWEB ) February 10, 2010 -- Siemon, a leading global manufacturer of IT network cabling and infrastructure systems, announces the release of their new high-performance 10+Gb/s SFP+ Passive Copper cabling product family. These SFP+ copper cable assemblies were developed as a cost-effective and lower-power alternative to optical cables for short reach links in high-speed interconnect applications such as high-performance computing (HPC), enterprise networking and network storage systems. The low latency assemblies support data transfer rates up to 10+ Gb/s per lane, exceeding the stringent electrical SFF-8431 and mechanical SFF-8432 Standards Specifications.

Siemon’s hot pluggable SFP+ cable assemblies are fully-shielded with robust die cast housings and enhanced spring fingers to minimize EMI leakage. The internal PCB assembly is factory terminated to twin-axial shielded cable and provides superior signal integrity to support 10+Gb/s high frequency data rates. The assemblies are impedance matched to ensure interoperability with SFP+ host port and minimize insertion loss.

The new 10+Gb/s SFP+ products support a wide array of data protocols/interfaces, including 8Gb/s FibreChannel HCA, 10Gb/s FibreChannel SAN, 10Gb/s FibreChannel over Ethernet, 10Gb/s Ethernet single lane, 10Gb/s InfiniBand QDR single lane and various 10Gb/s Unified Architecture network links as well as other 10Gb/s Switch and Host Controller Adapter card and high performance links.

“These same cables support serial single lane applications, such as RapidIO, RocketIO and other value-added IO interface links,” said Ed Cady, Business Development Manager for Siemon.

Product options available include varied EEPROM programming, wire gauges and assembly lengths for specific applications.
