Intersil Announces Q:Active® HD Line of High-Performance DisplayPort Cables
Q:Active® HD Line of High-Performance DisplayPort Cables support the full 8.64Gbps bandwidth (HBR) of DisplayPort 1.1a, enabling a resolution of 2560p x 1600p through up to 50 meters of copper cable – far exceeding the capabilities of interconnects which are currently limited to lengths of 3 meters or less. They also support the upcoming DisplayPort 1.2 specification (HBR2) that doubles the resolution and color depth with an aggregate data rate of 17.28Gbps. These active cables use Intersil high-speed CMOS devices that are embedded directly into the connector, and compensate for channel impairments such as skew, attenuation, group delay and crosstalk presented by the copper cable. Intersil’s Q:Active technology is a broadly deployed active cable format with installations in Top 500 supplied supercomputers, raster image processors, servers, storage farms and data centers worldwide. These switches and supercomputers can consume up to 30,000 ports of Q:Active technology per individual installation…
