Abstract
Novel cable designs and methods for mass-manufacturing long, 100 Gbps cables suitable for large communication centers. One illustrative cable embodiment includes: at least eight pairs of electrical conductors connected between a first connector and a second connector, each of said electrical conductors being 30 AWG or smaller in cross-section and about 10 meters or longer in length, each of the first and second connectors being adapted to fit into an Ethernet port of a corresponding host device, each of the first and second connectors including a respective transceiver that performs clock and data recovery on the electrical input signal to extract and re-modulate the outbound data stream for transit via at least four of the pairs of electrical conductors as differential NRZ (non-return to zero) electrical transit signals each having a signaling rate of at least 25 GBd to convey a total of at least 100 GBd in each direction.
