Siemon High-Density 800G Cable Assemblies for Data Centers

The Siemon company announced a portfolio of flexible Direct Attach Copper (DAC) and Active Copper Cable (ACC/AEC) assemblies for high-speed switch-to-switch and switch-to-server/storage applications.

Supporting Ethernet and InfiniBand (IB) at speeds up to 800G, these cables are designed to optimize performance and simplify cable management in today’s demanding data center environments.

“The key to successful high-density deployments lies in the flexibility and reliability of your cabling infrastructure,” says Ryan Harris, director, sales engineering, Siemon. “Traditional copper cables simply weren’t designed for the tight spaces and complex routing of today’s high-speed server deployments.”

The company’s new 200G, 400G, and 800G DAC and active copper cable assemblies demonstrate the firm’s commitment to high performance, reliability, and best-inclass cable management. These assemblies are rigorously tested for interoperability, performance, and signal quality at PAM4 speeds and are compatible with OSFP, QSFPDD, QSFP, SFP-DD, and SFP112 connectors. This generation of DAC and active copper cables represents a significant leap forward in cable design. They enable low-power, low-latency copper cable deployments at next-gen 800G network speeds. With a smaller bend radius and 40% smaller cable diameter compared to traditional jacketed cable, the company is simplifying 800G deployments. Siemon also provides superior technical support for new system configurations, setups, and cable qualification needs.
