Description
Credo’s HiWire™ Low Power CLOS Active Electrical Cable (LP CLOS AEC) is a thin, low power 400G AEC specifically designed for in-rack applications replacing backplanes in Distributed, Disaggregated Chassis (DDC) implementations. Plug & Play LP CLOS AECs consume up to 75% less power and take 75% less volume than DACs, enabling interconnect densities of up to 500 cables per rack.
Credo’s CAC4XX321D1D-XX-HW HiWire LP CLOS AEC is designed for telecom and data center use. It can sustain 8 lanes of 56G-PAM4 signal in each direction, providing bi-directional 400Gbps traffic per cable. The use and replacement of this AEC is simple and straightforward as it adopts standard QSFP-DD type 2 form factor and complies to MSA specifications.
