ACON and Mo-Link to Offer Products with
Spectra7's Latest Low Power Analog GaugeChanger™ Chips
LAS
VEGAS, Jan. 5, 2023 /CNW/ -- (TSXV: SEV) (OTCQB:
SPVNF) Spectra7 Microsystems Inc. ("Spectra7" or the
"Company"), a leading provider of high-performance analog
semiconductor products for data centers, 5G infrastructure, virtual
and augmented reality, and other connectivity markets, today
announced that Advanced-Connectek USA Inc. ("ACON"), a leading connector and
cable supplier, and Mo-Link Technologies Limited ("Mo-Link"), a
global provider of fiber optic, copper, and wireless connectivity
solutions, will be demonstrating a Thunderbolt 4 Active Copper
Cable employing Spectra7's GC2502 GaugeChanger™ ICs at the Consumer
Electronics Show (CES) in Las
Vegas from January 5th to
8th.
"We are extremely pleased to be working with ACON and Mo-Link on
this new ACC application using our innovative GaugeChanger™
technology," said Spectra7's CMO John Mitchell. "ACON is a
well-known technology leading manufacturer of electronic connectors
and cable assemblies and Mo-Link is a leading global provider of
connectivity solutions. Together, they supply a wide range of
interconnection solutions to customers around the globe."
GaugeChanger™ is a unique analog redriver technology that allows
copper to extend to much longer lengths without the cost and power
penalty of optics or retimed copper solutions. Spectra7's GC2502
ICs enable Thunderbolt 4 protocol at rates up to 40Gb/s over 2
meters of 30AWG copper cable which is
twice the distance achievable with passive cables.
ACON together with Mo-Link will be demonstrating a 2-meter
Thunderbolt 4 ACC connecting between an Apple MacBook Pro and an LG
40'' Curved UltraWide® 5K2K Nano IPS Monitor with Thunderbolt™ 4
Connectivity. Mo-Link will be showcasing the Thunderbolt 4 cable,
as well as other innovative connectivity solutions under the brand
name "Storhm," its retail brand for the North American market.
"Spectra7 continues its leadership in helping to drive the
future of active copper cable (ACC) interconnects in the consumer
market, and we are proud to be collaborating with both companies to
enable next-generation high-speed solutions," said Gordon Yen, General Manager at ACON USA. "We believe our customers will see
significant value in active versions of our Thunderbolt 4 cables
with Spectra7's GC2502."
"We are thrilled to be partnering with Spectra7 and ACON to
bring the Thunderbolt 4 Active Copper Cable to market. Our goal is
to make it easy and affordable for anyone to access the latest and
greatest in interconnection technology. This partnership allows us
to do just that, and we are confident that the Thunderbolt 4 Active
Copper Cable will be a great value to our product offerings. We
look forward to a long and successful partnership with Spectra7 and
ACON and can't wait to see what the future holds for all of us,"
said Michael Wang, CEO of
Mo-Link.
