Abstract

This presentation will show how AI and storage interconnects can support 400Gbps lane speeds. Feasibility of copper cabling across intra and inter rack interconnects will be supported using Active Copper Cables (ACC). Channel models, including co-packaged copper, flyover cables, backplane connectors, backplane cables and front panel pluggable modules will be shown and analyzed for 400G performance.
