Against the backdrop of the rapid development of AI computing, cloud services, and high-performance networks, the performance requirements for network interconnection cables are constantly increasing. As an interconnection solution brand for 800G, 1.6T, and future higher-speed applications, Infraeo Inc. is committed to developing high-performance optical-mixed, high-speed copper cables, and active/passive cable products, providing excellent connection solutions for complex data center architectures. Compared with traditional cables, Infraeo's products excel in signal integrity, power consumption, and stability, becoming an important choice for AI clusters and enterprise-level network deployments.
One, core content: compatibility and stability test analysis
Product Performance and Technical Highlights
Infraeo's high-speed network cables mainly cover including:
• Active Copper Cable (ACC) & Active Electrical Cable (AEC): Design for active copper cable that supports signal rates up to 800G even 1.6T, integrating DSP / Retimer technology to enhance signal quality and transmission distance.
Direct Attach Cable (DAC): Suitable for short-distance high-density rack internal wiring, with extremely low latency and high cost performance.
Optical Transceivers & AOC: Ensuring long-distance high-performance communication in fiber optic connection environments.
The design core of these products is to enhance signal integrity, reduce power consumption, and improve network stability. For example, Infraeo's 9-meter 800G AEC achieves transmission quality similar to fiber optic cables and provides extremely low bit error rate (BER), meeting the stringent requirements of AI and data centers for network reliability.
2. Practical Compatibility Testing
In compatibility testing, Infraeo high-speed cables have undergone multi-level verification with mainstream switches, servers, and optical transceivers.
• Auto-negotiation test with different manufacturers' host ports to ensure stable link establishment under various operational environments.
Compare the link performance of horizontal passive and active cables, evaluate latency, packet loss rate, and thermal performance.
• Compliant test with industry standard protocols (such as Ethernet 802.3, InfiniBand) to ensure error-free transmission across different network layers.
After testing, Infraeo's products perform well in terms of compatibility and can be integrated with mainstream ASIC/DSP platforms, providing a reliability guarantee for device interconnection.
Second, selection, compatibility, and reference and suggestions for domestic substitution solutions
When selecting high-speed network cables, the following suggestions should be considered:
1. Select according to the actual bandwidth requirements
The short connections inside the rack are mainly in DAC, which has a lower cost and extremely small delay.
• Intermediate distance requires ACC/AEC support for 800G, 1.6T high-speed signals;
Fiber optic solutions are suitable for cross-room or long-distance connections.
Compatibility and ecological support
Ensure that the selected cable is consistent with the existing switch/server port and protocol.
Pay attention to the compatibility list provided by the supplier and the firmware support strategy.
3. Suggestions for Domestic Substitution Solutions
Currently, the domestic high-speed network cable localization is gradually maturing, and some domestic manufacturers have made progress in passive DAC, active copper cable (AEC/ACC), optical modules, and cable accessories. The domestic substitute solutions have advantages in terms of cost-performance, supply chain guarantee, and local service response. Recommendation:
Evaluate passive and medium-short distance active cable products of domestic brands with priority, without affecting network performance.
For scenarios with high requirements for compatibility with high-end 800G and 1.6T ecosystems, it is advisable to first conduct verification prototype testing with Infraeo, and then gradually carry out interoperability testing and deployment of domestic substitutes.
In summary, under the assurance of link stability and ecological compatibility, a reasonable combination of Infraeo officially certified cables and domestic substitute products can achieve a balanced breakthrough in performance and cost.
Infraeo Inc.'s high-speed network cables have gained extensive attention in the field of AI cluster and data center interconnection, thanks to their advanced signal conditioning, low power consumption, and high stability design. Through comprehensive compatibility and stability tests, their products can work seamlessly with mainstream network devices, providing reliable support for high-bandwidth, low-latency applications. At the same time, combining with the technological progress of domestic alternative solutions, they can offer users flexible deployment options.
We continue to pay close attention to the progress of R&D and market application solutions for domestic high-speed network cables and connectors.
