Description
FCI is pleased to introduce our new 4X EyeMax™ cable assembly product
offering to support high-speed copper serial link applications. This copper
solution offers a low cost alternative to fiber optics for linking servers, storage
and other data network or communication devices. The EyeMax™ link
solution is designed to provide a continuous flow of serial data and eliminate
data traffic congestion, which can occur among hardware devices that use a
parallel bus structure.
FCI’s EyeMax™ cable assembly technology provides high-speed data rate
transfers of >2.5 Gbps per each link/channel at lengths up to 10-meters.
(4X = 10Gbps bi-directional total data rate transfer.) In addition, the
EyeMax™ cable technology offers <4% cross-talk performance, greater
bandwidth, and exceptional overall electrical performance to support
switched fabric link capabilities and scalability within and between system
hardware applications.
The mating interface used in EyeMax™ cable and connector products has
been selected as the external I/O copper link for the following standards:
InfiniBand™, 10G Fiber Channel, Serial ATA 2, and Serial Attached SCSI (SAS).
