DUPLEX TRANSMISSION OVER REDUCED PAIRS OF TWINAX CABLES

摘要

Cable systems and assemblies integrate a reduced number of twin axial copper pairs to transmit and received in a full-duplex transmission signals at transmission speeds greater than or equal to one hundred Giga bytes per second. The reduced number of twin axial copper pairs comprise four or less twin axial copper pairs, in which each pair forms a single twin axial full-duplex cable for passive or active communication of the signals. A processor can be integrated with the twin axial copper pairs operate to encode the signals for fast transmission speeds.

主权项

1. A system, comprising:
a set of full duplex twinax pairs comprising a set of four twin axial cables or less configured for communicating a set of signals in opposite directions concurrently at a speed of at least one hundred gigabytes per second; a plug assembly configured for integrating at least one end of the set of full duplex twinax pairs with a set of interconnects, and connecting the at least one end with an interface port, the plug assembly comprising:
a transceiver component configured for communicating the set of signals in the different directions to and from the interface port via the set of full duplex twinax pairs; anda processor operatively coupled to the transceiver component that is configured for digital signal processing of the set of signals via the set of full duplex twinax pairs.
