10GB,
40/100 Gigabit and Terabit Ethernet Products Designed
for Seamless Upgrades
Higher
speed connectivity is a reality with 40/100 Ethernet server
network interface cards, switch uplinks and switches now
available. The ratification of the 802.3ba standard resulted
in new products entering the market. Xmultiple has released
products which are available so just call us for samples.
The
IEEE started work on the 802.3ba standard in late 2006
and defined two different applications with 40G for server
connectivity and 100G for core switching.
Global
revenue for 10G Ethernet switches doubled in 2012 and
there is a demand for 40G and 100G Ethernet with many
companies needed this capacity. 10G Ethernet is now becoming
a major part of the access layer of larger networks and
is being the first choice for the client side. With the
users now using 10G for their needs this creates the need
for 40/100 in the distribution layer and the network core.
The 802.3ba is intended to maintain full compatibility
with the installed base of Ethernet nodes and uses the
optical fiber backplanes and copper cabling which preserves
the existing network architecture.
The
802.3ba standard initial interoperability testing and
companies with the need for high speed transmission now
have the products they want. The reasons for the driving
demand for 40/100G Ethernet are the same factors currently
pushing 10G which is data center virtualization and storage
and high-definition video conferencing and medical imaging.
Carrier's
like AT&T and Verizon are providing 10G Ethernet LAN
and Ethernet Virtual Private Line services to customers
in 100 U.S. metro markets. At 10G and 40/100G Ethernet
users have to be aware of the need to ensure precise clocking
synchronization between systems and especially between
equipment from different vendors. If precise clocking
is not achieved this will increase latency and packet
loss. This latency issue is a bigger issue than many companies
realize and at these speeds the specifications permit
only a little variance for clocks. Therefore at 10G, just
the smallest difference in the clocks between ports can
cause high latency and packet loss issues. At 40G it is
even a large issue with the precise clocking requirements.
Cabling infrastructure for 40/100G must be the appropriate
grade and length of fiber for seamless and smooth networking
operation. The physical interfaces (PHY) for 40G Ethernet
include a range to cover distances inside the data center
up to 100 meters to connect the wide range of different
server form factors. They will require a parallel fiber
capability. The 100G Ethernet rate includes distances
and media appropriate for connections for intra-office
and inter-office applications. The PHY for 40G Ethernet
are 1 meter backplane, 10 meter copper and 100 meter multimode
fiber and 100G is 10 kilometer and 40 kilometer single-mode
fiber.
Double
Contract RJ Connectors and Cable Technology
Xmultiple
has designed a evolutionary new RJ11 and RJ45 connector
with the UltraJAX technology. UltraJAX makes one RJ11/RJ45
operate as two RJ11/RJ45 connectors. UltraJAX achieves
production improvements, generate new variants that require
a smaller footprint on the board, and develop high-density
or high-current variations. Increased mechanical stability
and quality in accordance with Xmultiple's new UltraJAX
philosophy will lead the modular jack connector market.
For future developments for customers, the new design
makes it possible to double the number of connector pins
without increasing size requirements
Designed
With Production In Mind
Male
and female connectors are supplied as thru-hole and on
tape-on-reel packaging for automatic SMT assembly. Prior
to being taped, all RJ connectors are thoroughly tested
to ensure that they maintain the co-planarity so that
customers can process them at the highest levels of reliability.
