Spectra7 Microsystems Inc. and MultiLane Technologies Inc. announced they will demonstrate their latest 800Gbps product offerings at this year's annual DesignCon Conference Exhibition in Santa Clara, California from January 31-February 1, 2024. The companies plan to demonstrate robust performance and testing of 800Gbps Active Copper Cable (ACC) products for hyperscale data center applications. The demo will highlight Spectra7's ACCs successfully interoperating with the ML4015E Digital Sampling Oscilloscope (DSO) Test System at 112G PAM4 signaling that is used for 800Gbps port speeds.

The demo will highlight a 112G PAM4 Eye Diagram showing superior signal integrity. DesignCon is the premier high-speed interconnect and system design conference attended by engineers from around the world. The Spectra7 will be on exhibit in booth #1344.

Spectra7's analog based GaugeChangerTM 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.
