Siemon, announced its new ultra-low-loss singlemode MTP cabling system exhibits considerable margin over IEEE 400 Gigabit channel limits as proven through third-party testing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Intertek Testing Services, a global leader in the testing, inspection, and certification of products, tested Siemon\u2019s new singlemode ultra-low-loss MTP cabling system in IEEE 802.3bs 400GBASE-DR4 and IEEE 802.3cu 400GBASE-FR4 400 Gigabit applications. The testing utilised Siemon\u2019s new LightVerse fibre optic cabling system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Both channels were configured with a higher number of connections than typically used to ensure performance across a range of deployments. The parallel optic 400GBASE-DR4 channel consisted of eight mated Siemon LightVerse MTP adapter plates and MTP-MTP cabling assemblies over the maximum allowed channel length of 500 metres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The WDM 400GBASE-FR4 channel consisted of five Siemon LightVerse MTP-to-LC modules, MTP-MTP cabling assemblies, and LC-LC BladePatch fibre jumpers over the maximum allowed channel length of 2,000 metres. Both channel configurations were tested for insertion loss and reflectance using the one-jumper method specified in TIA-568.3.D standards and exhibited considerable margin over stringent IEEE channel limits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Siemon\u2019s singlemode ULL industry-leading component specifications provide a maximum IL performance of 0.30 dB for MTP connectors, 0.50 dB for MTP-LC modules and 0.20 dB for LC BladePatch cords. The channel testing showed actual results well below the maximum specifications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With emerging technologies driving widespread 400 Gigabit adoption in hyperscale data centres and enterprise data centres gearing up to deploy these next-generation speeds, data centre operators need to be confident that their cabling systems can reliably support current and future 400 Gigabit applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By demonstrating the ability of ultra-low-loss components to support multiple mated connections in 400 Gigabit channels and still meet stringent IEEE requirements, data centre operators can ensure flexibility over a range of distances and configurations, including the use of convenient cross-connects that facilitate management, upgrades, and reconfigurations\u2014all while remaining within their loss budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
