ICT core component solutions provider Luxshare-Tech and Semtech, the provider of high-performance semiconductors, IoT systems and cloud connectivity service solutions, makes its 1.6T OSFP Active Copper Cable (ACC). The ACC will be powered by Semtech’s CopperEdge technology.
The newly released Luxshare-Tech 1.6T OSFP ACC incorporates Semtech’s 224G/lane linear equalizer/redriver ICs to provide high-bandwidth, high-reliability extended-reach connectivity between compute and storage resources in high-end data center infrastructure, enabling AI/ML clusters to rapidly scale to support new applications and ever-larger training models. The 1.6T OSFP ACC provides significant benefits to data center operators. These include extended reach (up to 3 meters) at 224G/lane for interconnecting across multiple racks, ultra-low latency (under 100ps) for high-performance AI/ML workloads, ultra-low power consumption (up to 10x lower than DSP-based solutions), significantly alleviating rack-level power feed and thermal challenges, and protocol-transparent operation to enable use across a wide range of applications
“The newly released 1.6T OSFP ACC that we are introducing with Semtech’s partnership is a vital addition to our high-speed interconnect solutions; these ACC’s are in high demand from leading hyperscale data center and enterprise customers for upcoming infrastructure generations,” said Carl Yuan, Director of Global Product Management at Luxshare-Tech.
Weiliang Deng, Director of Data Center Marketing at Semtech, added, “By joining forces with Luxshare-Tech on the 1.6T OSFP ACC, we are tackling one of the industry’s most pressing challenges. Our combined expertise removes the critical interconnect bottlenecks that have constrained cluster scaling, unlocking unprecedented performance for the next wave of AI/ML data center architectures.”
