Delivering 200G in Volume and Readying 400G for Next Generation
Networks

On Display a Full Line of 100G, 200G and 400G DAC and AOC Cables and
Transceivers

SUNNYVALE Calif. & YOKNEAM, Israel–(BUSINESS WIRE)–lt;a href=”https://twitter.com/hashtag/Mellanox?src=hash” target=”_blank”gt;#Mellanoxlt;/agt;–Mellanox Technologies, Ltd. (NASDAQ: MLNX), a leading supplier of
optical transceivers and high-performance, end-to-end smart interconnect
solutions for data center servers and storage systems, today announced
the introduction of new 100G, 200G, and 400G technologies and will be
demonstrating these at the Optical Fiber Conference (OFC 2019) in San
Diego, CA:

  • 400G QSFP-DD DR4 single-mode optical transceivers
  • 400G OSFP SR8 multi-mode optical transceivers
  • 400G QSFP-DD DAC copper cables
  • 200G QSFP56 Active DAC copper cables
  • 200G QSFP56 Active Optical Cables
  • 200G QSFP56 SR4 optical transceivers
  • 100G SFP-DD SR2 DAC copper cables

In addition, there will be live demonstrations of 200G HDR AOCs,
dual-port 200GbE/HDR and dual-port 100G SFP-DD ConnectX-6 network
adapters.

“Our 200G HDR InfiniBand cables and transceivers have begun volume
shipments for use in critical low-latency applications such as HPC,
Hyperscale, and Artificial Intelligence,” Eyal Babish, Senior Vice
President of Operations and Hardware Engineering of Mellanox
Technologies, said. “Our full line of 25/50/100G cables and transceivers
are receiving tremendous adoption in China, Webscale businesses, Cloud
computing networks, and with OEMs worldwide. We are seeing the
transition to 200G just beginning and 400G will soon follow. Customers
select Mellanox because of our high-speed experience, our capacity to
ship in volume, and the quality of our products.”

All Mellanox cables and transceivers are designed for very low Bit Error
Ratios (BER) of 1E-15, about 1,000 times lower than the IEEE industry
standard of 1E-12. They will be demonstrated with Ixia Solutions Group,
Keysight Technologies’ AresONE 8-port, 400GbE QSFP-DD test system.

“Ixia is pleased to work closely with Mellanox to evolve the emerging
interconnect solutions such as OSFP, QSFP-DD, and QSFP56 for live
demonstrations at OFC this year. Showing line rate Ethernet traffic over
Mellanox’s 200GbE and 400GbE interconnects using Ixia’s AresONE test
system validates the low BER performance that exceeds the requirements
of the 400GbE and 200GbE standards for these Mellanox products,” said
Charles Seifert, Senior Manager, Product Management at Ixia Solutions
Group, Keysight Technologies.
