performance, Fujitsu Takamisawa America Inc.'s MicroGigaCN (MicroGiga Connector) has been selected

The MicroGiga CN offers a cost-effective I/O solution for high-speed applications
in data and telecommunications convergence (voice, data, video and storage). It utilizes
a 2.5 Gbit/sec wire speed connection with four or twelve wire link widths, offering a scalable
performance range of 500MB/s to 6GB/s per link to meet the needs of entry-level and high-end enterprise systems.
Forward crosstalk is less than 4% at 100 pico second pulse-rise time (four-pair switching).
The IBTA's objective was to develop a new common I/O specification that would deliver a channel based,
switched fabric technology that the entire industry can adopt. InfiniBand Architecture offers a unique solution that benefits
a wide range of industry participants from components vendors and systems suppliers to storage and networking communications firms.
Ultimately, end-users receive the greatest benefit through improved price/performance, greater flexibility and scalability, and more
reliable and manageable data centers.
Currently, the eight (4x) and twenty-four (12x) pair MicroGigaCN are being sampled on a limited basis.
Production quantities will be available in January 2001. Pricing for the eight pair, board-mount socket and I/O plug with
backshell is $15.00 in 10K-piece quantities.
Fujitsu Takamisawa America, Inc. markets and distributes electronic components throughout North,
Central and South America. Products include electromechanical relays, connectors, keyboards and
thermal printers. The company is headquartered at 250 E. Caribbean Drive, Sunnyvale, California, 94089.
