InfiniBand: NX High Performance Cables
Introduction to InfiniBand CablesCinch designs and manufactures high speed cables for InfiniBand SDR, DDR and QDR, incorporating industry standard SFF8470 interface. Recognizing the need to minimize discontinuities in the cable termination area, NX Cables utilize laser welded, direct attach termination of the twin-ax conductors to the cable connector contacts, eliminating the discontinuities associated with the commonly used paddle card.
Cinch’s advanced manufacturing technique and wafer construction provides superior signal fidelity over long distances. NX InfiniBand Cables are available in wire gauges including 24, 26, 28 and 30 AWG in various lengths from 00.50m 30AWG to 10m 24AWG for DDR and 7m 24AWG for QDR installations with the industry’s largest selection of backshell options.
