Meritec Expands its Need For Speed with High-speed Copper Network SFP+ Cables

Sept. 17, 2009 - PRLog -- Meritec is pleased to announce the release of our newest high-speed copper network cabling solution, SFP+. This Industry standard cable assembly is an expansion of Meritec’s high-speed product offerings.

SFP+ copper cables enable data transfer rates up to 10 Gb/s per channel at lengths up to 7 meters, meeting current Standards Specifications.  Applications include high-performance computing (HPC), enterprise networking and network storage markets where higher bandwidth signaling is required.  SFP+ copper cables support the 10-Gigabit-Ethernet, 8G Fibre Channel and 10G Fibre Channel over Ethernet specifications.

Meritec’s SFP+ assembly utilizes a shielded twin-ax cable construction maintaining 100-ohm impedance matching within 5 ohms to ensure interoperability. Meritec’s fully shielded assembly incorporates die cast metal housings designed specifically for high frequency data rates minimizing EMI leakage.  Meritec’s patent pending pull style latch assures a robust, positive locking attachment and is designed for both standard and belly to belly applications based on our customers requirements.

Meritec continues to enhance our product options with future release of a Panel Mount Secure Locking feature to eliminate any concerns for stability during high-vibration conditions.  Another future enhancement is an over-molded nose piece for increased mating cycles achieving 3X the specified standard.

Meritec’s commitment to high-speed cabling is evident with the release of our SFP+ copper cable assembly.  Meritec has invested in a semi-automatic production facility to assure repetitive quality at an industry competitive price built in the USA.
