Nexans launches 25G,40G Ethernet solutions

Dubai: Nexans announced its new copper-based solutions to support bandwidths of 25Gb/s and 40Gb/s Ethernet. 

According to the company, the newly introduced LANmark-7A and LANmark-8 copper systems are specifically designed for scalable high speed data centre applications

LANmark-7A is now upgraded in frequency from 1000MHz to 1250MHz to fully cope with the demands of 25GBase-T. Designed for applications beyond 10G, LANmark-7A supports existing RJ45 based legacy equipment using the backwards-compatibility of GG45 connectivity. 

LANmark-8, which will also be launched, is based on LANmark-7A, with enhancements including the ability to support frequencies up to 2000MHz, enabling transmission of 40GBase-T over 30m. Both systems are based on Nexans’ GG45 connector, which is a screened RJ45 compatible cable jack specified up to 2000MHz. 

Martin Rossbach, Director of Product Marketing at Nexans Cabling Solutions said, “LANmark-7A is ideal for data centres which currently use 1 Gb/s line speed at server ports.”

“We are confident our new innovations will help our customers to address the challenges of supporting high frequency Ethernet applications for their future-ready data centres,” said Regional Director Gulf and Middle East, South & East Africa at Nexans Cabling Solutions, Tarek Helmy.
