High Speed Cables for Data Center and HPC refer to factory-terminated high-speed cable assemblies used for short-reach to medium-short-reach interconnection in data centers, AI server clusters, high-performance computing systems, cloud infrastructure, storage networks, and high-speed switching fabrics. These products typically integrate pluggable or customized high-speed interfaces such as SFP/SFP28/SFP56, QSFP/QSFP28/QSFP56, QSFP-DD, OSFP, OSFP-XD, CXP, CDFP, or proprietary high-speed connectors at both ends, with high-speed twinax copper cable, low-loss copper pairs, optical fiber, or active electrical/optical conversion structures in between. They are used to support 25G, 50G, 100G, 200G, 400G, 800G and emerging 1.6T data transmission in data center and HPC environments.

High-speed cables for data centers and HPC, with their core characteristics of low transmission latency, low power consumption, high signal integrity, and strong resistance to electromagnetic interference, combined with the structural advantages of high-density integration and adaptability to short-distance high-speed interconnects, effectively solve the industry pain points of traditional interconnect solutions in high-end computing clusters and supercomputing scenarios, such as high photoelectric conversion loss, large transmission latency, complex cabling redundancy, and high operation and maintenance costs. They are also adaptable to new deployment environments such as liquid cooling and high-density racks, ensuring stable real-time transmission of high-bandwidth, high-throughput computing data. This overcomes the shortcomings of traditional transmission media in supporting the explosive data interaction of AI computing power, making them a core supporting component of high-end computing infrastructure.

The industrialization of artificial intelligence is driving the continuous expansion of computing clusters, accelerating the construction of supercomputing and cloud-based intelligent computing centers, and promoting the continuous iterative upgrades of high-speed interconnect ports for servers and switches. Coupled with the industry trend of energy conservation, carbon reduction, and high-density intensive development in data centers, this is driving the continuous upgrading of high-speed cables towards ultra-high speed, low loss, and high adaptability.
