Description

Credo’s HiWire™ LP SWITCH Active Electrical Cable (AEC) is designed to support hot failover of a server Network Interface Card (NIC) to two top of Rack (TOR) switches to avoid a failed TOR causing a full rack failure.

Credo’s HiWire LP SWITCH AEC is designed to support 100G and 50G NIC cards and provide automatic or manual switching functions without loss of link in less than 1ms. This allows TORs to be brought down for maintenance or firmware updates without impacting server SLAs or even requiring end-user notification. Credo’s HiWire LP SWITCH AECs comply with the QSFP MSA and are simple and easy to use.
