Phyworks has successfully completed system level interoperability testing of its 10Gbps active equalizer in an SFP+ active copper cable assembly. Carried out at the University of New Hampshire’s Interoperability Laboratory, the testing verified that copper cables integrating the PHY2060 active equalizer/retimer IC could achieve 100% error free transmission passing data between different switches.
In the packet error ratio test, Cisco Nexus 5020 and Arastra DCS-7124S switches were connected to each end of a 10 meter (33 feet), 26AWG twin-ax copper cable assembly. Data traffic composed of 200 million 1518-byte ICMP echo requests was generated and sent across the cable at a BER of 10-12 or better. Test results confirmed that no data packets were lost.
