Highest performance consistency and advanced low-loss Twinax DAC cable technology? Absolutely.

Say hello to the 2021 lineup of our new Rapide™ II OSFP, QDD, and QSFP56 DAC cables. With a smart high-speed interconnect design automation flow paired with our revolutionary manufacturing technology (up to 200 units/hr), you know that these cables are well-equipped for high-quality and reliable data transfer.

What these cables can do for you.

Designed for 56G or 112G per-lane PAM4 signaling protocols, the EEPROM is completely programmable, followed by a 30AWG-27AWG cable size. Our passive copper custom lengths range from 0.25 meters to 3 meters for 400GB/s applications, while our active cables support 3+ meters at 800G. With all this flexibility and operating temperatures between -25°C to 85°C, you get the benefit of a robust build and excellent signal integrity performance that can thrive in a high-temperature, high-humidity environment.

Where our cables excel.

Our DAC cables were designed with high speed in mind, and can be deployed in a variety of applications:

  • Server/Storage
  • High Performance Computing (HPC)
  • Switches/Routers
  • Data Center/Networking

Performance that deserves a standing ovation.

To keep up with ever-evolving technology and speed requirements, we ensure our DAC cables remain at the top of their class. They feature a differential impedance of 100Ω +/- 10Ω, a channel operating margin greater than 4.0dBs (1.0dB higher than the standard), and a durability of up to 500 cycles.

Compliance for peace of mind.

You can rest assured that our DAC cables are compliant to any and all relevant standards. In this case, the newest additions to our DAC cables are compliant to the following standards:

  • 400G Compliant to IEEE 802.3cd and OSFP/QDD MSA
  • 800G compliant to IEEE 802.3ck and OSFP MSA
  • RoHS
