FS has announced the release of its new 1.6T OSFP Close Top Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cables, designed to meet the growing demands of hyperscale data centers, machine learning, and high-performance computing (HPC) networks. The cables provide up to 1600Gbps throughput with ultra-low power consumption, offering exceptional mechanical durability and shielding for demanding environments. The introduction comes at a time when data centers are transitioning from 800G to 1.6T connectivity, especially with the release of NVIDIA’s GB200 NVL72 architecture, which relies on copper interconnections for short-distance data transmission within racks.
These ultra-high-speed DAC cables from FS are compatible with Ethernet and InfiniBand systems, delivering seamless upgrades for enterprises looking to boost their InfiniBand XDR network capabilities. The 1.6T OSFP cables ensure enterprises can handle increased data transmission needs while maintaining low power usage and high performance, aligning with the growing demands of next-gen accelerated computing networks.
• Up to 1.6 Tbps throughput with ultra-low power consumption (≤0.1W)
• Enhanced cooling efficiency with a close-top design
• Industry-standard compliance (IEEE 802.3, OSFP MSA)
• Designed for use in Ethernet and InfiniBand systems
• Qualified for InfiniBand XDR end-to-end systems
“FS’s 1.6T OSFP DAC cables offer unparalleled performance for the next-gen GB200 NVL72 architecture,” said Jon Zhang, FS’s senior technical director. “We are committed to delivering advanced network solutions to meet the evolving needs of HPC data centers and hyperscale operators.”
