DESCRIPTION
Quellan’s Q:ACTIVE® Technology is the first silicon-based solution developed specifically for copper interconnect applications. Integrating Q:ACTIVE components into each end of a copper cable assembly boosts the signal and reduces noise to provide a dramatic decrease in cable gauge and an increase in cable reach - up to three times that of a passive cable. Integrating Q:ACTIVE into linecards, switch cards and backplanes provides dramatic improvement in signal integrity of these interconnects.
This allows the use of cost effective PCB laminates while also employing simpler ASICS without complex signal conditioning techniques.
The QLx4800 is a settable quad equalizer uniquely tailored for the emerging 8.5G Fibre Channel applications. The equalizer compensates for frequency dependent attenuation of non-return-to-zero (NRZ) data and extends the signal reach to over 20m on 24AWG cable at 8.5 Gbps. The small form factor, highly-integrated quad design is ideal for high-density 4 lane cable and PCB applications. Easy integration into linecards and backplanes makes QLx4800 an attractive option for upgrading the performance of existing Fibre Channel hardware to 8.5 Gbps.
The equalizer is available in two versions: with Impedance Select feature and with Individual Lane LOS support.
