Spectra7 Microsystems Inc. and Volex plc announced that they successfully demonstrated industry leading performance of 800G Active Copper Cables (ACCs) at this year's annual DesignCon Conference Exhibition held last week in Santa Clara, California. In the demonstration, Volex 800Gbps QSFP-DD ACCs with Spectra7's embedded GC1122 chips successfully interoperated with test equipment from several vendors to produce very robust low pre-FEC bit error rates (BERs) significantly below standard required BER. Spectra7's analog based GaugeChanger GC1122 chips are used in ACCs and offer significant cost, size, and energy consumption value versus competing Active Electrical Cables (AECs) and Active Optical Cables (AOCs) that use Digital Signal Processing (DSP) technologies.
