Building 800 G Copper Cables Using the Right Retimers

400 G copper cables make up the bulk of connections in data centers these days with 800 G and 1.6 T on the horizon. Active electrical cables (AECs) are a requirement for copper cabling  

In this episode of Inside Electronics, William Wong talks with Point2 Technology's David Kou about AECs including their new Point2 P1B121 integrated, eight-unidirectional SerDes with smart Clock Data Recovery (CDR) and retimer functions that support 112G PAM4 needed for 800 G copper cabling.
