A small chip mounted in the plug housing could enable copper high-speed data cables to be thinner, lighter, and run further, its inventor has claimed.
Quellan said that the chip, which reduces analogue noise on the line, could be used in a range of high-speed cables, including InfiniBand, SAS, PCI-Express and 10Gig Ethernet.
It has already signed U.S. cable maker WL Gore as a customer for it, and demonstrated cables using it at a recent conference on high-performance computing. The chip, called Q:Active, turns a passive cable into an active one, said Quellan chairman and CEO Tony Stelliga.
