The Siemon Company, a global expert in network infrastructure, has unveiled a full range of Direct Attach Copper (DAC) and Active Copper Cable (ACC/AEC) assemblies tailored for high-speed connections between switches, servers, and storage systems
These solutions support Ethernet and InfiniBand technologies at speeds up to 800G, enhancing performance and streamlining cable management for modern data centre environments.
“The key to successful high-density deployments lies in the flexibility and reliability of your cabling infrastructure. Traditional copper cables simply weren’t designed for the tight spaces and complex routing of today’s high-speed server deployments,” commented Prem Rodrigues, vice-president IMEA at Siemon.
Siemon’s newly introduced 200G, 400G, and 800G DAC and active copper cable assemblies reflect its focus on delivering top-tier performance, dependability, and superior cable management. Built to meet PAM4 signal standards, these cables undergo strict testing for interoperability, signal integrity, and performance. They are available with various connector types, including OSFP, QSFP-DD, QSFP, SFP-DD, and SFP112.
This latest generation of copper assemblies marks a significant advancement in cable design, supporting low-power, low-latency installations at next-gen 800G speeds. With a reduced bend radius and up to 40% slimmer diameter than conventional jacketed cables, Siemon’s innovation simplifies the deployment of dense, high-speed data centre environments. The company also backs its new solutions with dedicated technical support for configuration, system integration, and qualification processes.
