Abstract
A breakout cable includes a data-lane module comprising a plurality of data lanes configured to send and receive a plurality of data signals, a plurality of breakout modules, and a plurality cables. Each breakout module is associated with a data lane and each cable interfaces with the data-lane module and a corresponding data lane to send and receive the plurality of signals between the data-lane module and a corresponding breakout module at a nominal 25 Gbps or a nominal 100 Gbps. In various embodiments, the data-lane module connects to a host and each of the plurality of modules connects to one or more system(s) to enable host-to-system(s) communications and system(s)-to-host communications at a nominal 100 Gbps or a nominal 400 Gbps.
