Overview

The CopperEdge GN8112 is a 112Gbps PAM4 quad channel linear PAM4 equalizer designed for Active Copper Cable (ACC) assembly applications to provide reach extension over that of a passive Direct Attach Copper (DAC) Twinaxial (Twinax) cable assembly. GN8112 can also be used in backplane and onboard applications to extend the trace lengths of interconnects for reliable high-speed communication between two end points.
