Network Engineers have a plethora of cabling options when it comes to installing a 10-Gigabit Ethernet compliant backbone, but which solution is truly optimal under the circumstances? 10-Gigabit Ethernet CX4, aka CX4 Gigabit Infiniband Cable, combines low cost, low latency, and low power consumption for the ultimate short-distance link. Although CX4's popularity has grown rapidly in recent years, there is still a great deal of confusion and misinformation regarding this technology. Our exclusive Guide to CX4 Cables will help with all of your CX4 related questions.The passive copper cables provide robust connections up to eight meters in length and require no power from the connector. The CX4 Gigabit Infiniband Cable 10GBE 3M are a thinner alternative to the passive six and eight meter cables, and are available up to 15 meters in length. All cables have easy to read serial numbers printed at each end to facilitate installation and network debug.
Nearly one quarter of the world's Top 500 super computers utilize InfiniBand interconnects for mission-critical applications, making it an ideal choice for CX4 use. SAS/Mini SAS/ SATA While InfiniBand is more proprietary in nature and requires licensing fees, CX4 is based on an Open Source MSA (Multi-Source-Agreement), allowing any manufacturer to develop CX4 Gigabit Infiniband Cable products at significantly lower costs.GigaTech's CX4 cables are assembled with premium Madison 8 pair, 100 ohm cable, and are available in lengths up to 15 meters. Standard connector type is the ejector style latch used for Infiniband, but configurations with thumbscrews or side squeeze latches are also available.The high-performance optical CX4 Gigabit Infiniband Cable, with 20 Gbps data rates, deliver the performance you need to build large, reliable computer clusters.
