Spectra7 and Genesis Connected Solutions Showcase Ethernet Data Center Connectivity at SC18

Demonstration at SuperComputing 2018 Show Highlights 200/400G QSFP-DD Solution

Spectra7 Microsystems Inc. (TSX:SEV) (“Spectra7” or the “Company”), a leading provider of high-performance analog semiconductor products for broadband connectivity markets, and Genesis Connected Solutions, an innovative high speed interconnect supplier, today announced that they are showcasing their latest data center cable products using Spectra7’s GaugeChanger^TM active copper technology at the Supercomputing 2018 (SC18) show at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center in Dallas, TX from November 12-15.

“Spectra 7 has developed unique technology that not only helps extend data center copper-based cable solutions but also significantly reduces power and cost when compared to optical solutions,” said Mick Felton, director of engineering at Genesis. “The demonstration of a 5m QSFP-DD cable at SC18 highlights the key advantages of Spectra7’s technology in our interconnect products.”

“Genesis is an innovation leader in the data center interconnect solutions market," said Spectra7 CEO Raouf Halim. “This joint demonstration in the QSFP-DD format showing both NRZ and PAM4, is another major milestone in the validation of our data center technology.”

GaugeChanger^TM is an innovative and disruptive technology that allows copper to extend much longer lengths without the cost and power penalty of optics. It works equally well at 25 Gbps NRZ and 50 Gbps PAM-4 enabling new connector standards of 100, 200 and 400 Gbps.

Genesis will be showcasing products with Spectra7’s GaugeChanger^TM technology at Booth #4348.
