GEC NEWS WIRENexans unveiled its new copper-based solutions to support bandwidths of 25Gb/s and 40Gb/s Ethernet. Developing this technology is part of Nexans’ vision of supporting the world’s growing data needs.
Nexans’ LANmark-7A is upgraded in frequency from 1000MHz to 1250MHz to fully cope with the demands of 25GBase-T. Designed for applications beyond 10G, LANmark-7A supports existing RJ45 based legacy equipment using the backwards-compatibility of GG45 connectivity. This technology allows for a seamless migration to 25G over 30m while being fully compatible with 10GBaseT over distances greater than 100m.
Martin Rossbach, Director of Product Marketing at Nexans Cabling Solutions said: “LANmark-7A is ideal for data centres which currently use 1 Gb/s line speed at server ports. LANmark-7A can be installed in cost effective End or Middle of Row Architectures and offers cabling for two performance steps ahead of today: 10GBase-T and 25GBase-T. With LANmark-8, even one performance step further can be achieved towards 40GBase-T”
“We are pleased to introduce LANmark-7A and LANmark-8 in the Middle East. Our customers can now scale up to 25G and 40G Ethernet with these new products that are designed for scalable high speed data centre applications. We are confident our new innovations will help our customers to address the challenges of supporting high frequency Ethernet applications for their future-ready data centres,” said Tarek Helmy, Regional Director Gulf and Middle East, South & East Africa at Nexans Cabling Solutions.
