Cisco Serial Cables the end on the light-blue console cable

Now in addition to all the standard Cisco Serial Cables I am carrying around I have added a mini USB cable to the mix. My console cable bag is growing larger, but this is a standard cable that many of us carry with us anyway. Overtime, we may stop carrying the old clunky serial cables with DB-9 and USB to serial converters. I am all in favor of anything that makes the job easier.I am hoping that this new method continues to be spread to other devices. I also hope that Cisco will enable all of the USB Type-A ports on their other devices for similar connectivity. For years I have hauled around two console cable sets. Because I often connect to multiple devices at the same time, such as redundant supervisors on 6500s or to two supervisors in redundant 6500s or VSS, I need two Cisco Serial Cables. Here is a picture of one of my typical USB cables. I use a Keyspan USA-19HS USB to serial adapter.

Extending the interconnect reach of MiniSAS Cables

A new line of MiniSAS Cables assemblies comes in the form of high-performance, cost-effective cabling solutions for high-speed serial buses supporting 4X Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) architectures. The copper cables from Tyco Electronics are designed to be fully compliant with 3 Gbit/s SAS and 6 Gbit/s SAS protocols. Target product applications include mass storage systems, storage area networks and switches, servers and routers.We are very proud of our company’s leadership in developing the silicon for new active MiniSAS (External / Internal)  technology that now has culminated in successful interoperability demonstrations of active cable interconnects, said Gourgen Oganessyan, Strategic Marketing Manager and Quellan’s representative at the T10 Physical Working Group. Extending the interconnect reach of 10 meters specified by the current standard by a factor of over two removed a severe limitation in the operation of today’s datacenters, while retaining complete backward compatibility with existing passive interconnects.

The MiniSAS Cables builders using the 6 Gbit/s SAS technology

 10X the length of a 2 meter assive cable.Quellan, Inc., in analog signal processing and RF noise cancellation ICs, announced the availability of a portfolio of 6Gbps SAS products including MiniSAS Cables, active cable modules, based on its production QLx4600 Lane Extender IC. The company has previously validated the performance of the mini-SAS cables activated by its revolutionary Q:Active  analog lane extender technology at several private and public testing events, most recently at the SAS Plugfest conducted on November 10–14, 2008 at the University of New Hampshire Interoperability lab.

Tyco tested its standard External MiniSAS Cable 12M for $199.00 and raised the bar by also testing longer length cables (30 AWG at 5.5m, 28 AWG at 7m and 26 AWG at 8.5m) with 6 Gbit/s SAS signaling speeds—demonstrating its wide breadth of customized cable assembly solutions.
Final test results concluded that no bit errors were detected, which indicates that Tyco MiniSAS Cables perform without dropped data for system builders using the 6 Gbit/s SAS technology. Prior to the event, internal S-parameter and near-end-crosstalk tests were conducted on the cable assemblies to meet the requirements for 6 Gbit/s SAS specifications.

QSFP+ port cages for systems and adapters

 Molex's QSFP+ transceiver can replace up to 4 standard SFP+ transceivers. The result is greater port density and overall system cost savings over traditional SFP+ products. Molex's QSFP+ cable assemblies are designed to accommodate stacked and ganged connector configurations in extremely high-density requirements. This system will support 10G Ethernet, Fibre Channel, InfiniBand, SAS and SONET/SDH standards with different data rate options.Molex’s low-power AOC integrated cable solutions provide less expensive, reliable transport for aggregated data rates up to 40 Gbps.
 Mellanox’s solution is being offered in three different options: one QSFP port, six QSFP ports, six QSFP-H40G-​CU3M – Compatible Cisco 40GbE QSFP+ QDR Direct-Att​ach Copper Cable 3ml ports with light pipes. The QSFP+ cages are designed for different markets and applications including hubs, switching, routers and adapters.
