Cables and Transceivers
The NVIDIA® Networking LinkX® product family of cables and transceivers provides the industry’s most complete line of 10, 25, 40, 50, 100, 200, and 400GbE in Ethernet and EDR, HDR, and NDR in InfiniBand products for Cloud, HPC, Web 2.0, Enterprise, telco, storage and artificial intelligence, data center applications.
LinkX cables and transceivers are often used to link top-of-rack switches downwards to network adapters in NVIDIA GPUs and CPU servers, and storage and/or upwards in switch-to-switch applications throughout the network infrastructure.
FORM FACTORS
Interconnect products are available in both Ethernet and InfiniBand protocols in 1,4 and 8-channels, SFP and QSFP form factors. LinkX has solutions for any data center speed and reach from 0.5m to 40km providing lower latency, lower power, and better reliability and ROI than competitors.
- Direct Attach Copper Cables (DACs) & splitters
- Active Copper Cables (ACCs) & splitters
- Active Optical Cables (AOCs) & splitters

- Port adapters & accessories
ETHERNET PRODUCTS
DAC & Splitter Cable Products
LinkX Direct Attach Copper cables are the lowest cost, 25G-to-400GbE high-speed links for inside racks up to 5-meters for 25G-NRZ and 3-meters for 50G PAM4-based cables. DACs offer zero latency delays and power consumption ideal for switch-to-CPU, GPU, and storage subsystems. LinkX designs and manufactures its cables and are extensively tested.
Active Optical Cables (AOCs)
LinkX AOCs are the lowest cost optical interconnect. Fibers are bonded inside connectors act similar to DACs but up to 100 meters. Available at 25G-to-400G data rates. NVIDIA Networking LinkX has the longest history in the marketplace building AOCs and are widely used in HPCs, hyperscale and enterprise networking and in DGX artificial intelligence systems. Designed and manufactured by LinkX – including several LinkX-designed Integrated circuits.
Optical Transceivers
LinkX transceivers are designed and manufactured by LinkX -including designing many of the transceiver IC components inside. Offering multi- and single-mode transceivers from 1G-to-400G up to 40km reaches in both NRZ and 50G-PAM4 modulation. The same transceivers are used in our AOCs and splitters.
Cable Accessories
The QSA is a QSFP-to-SFP port Adapter that enables a single-channel Ethernet SFP device to be inserted into a QSFP port. Available in 10G, 25G NRZ versions and 50G-PAM4 they support a wide array of devices 0.5m DACs to AOCs to 10km SFP56 LR transceivers. Very low-cost and consumes zero power and latency and supports 1GBASE-T up to 50G 10km transceivers. Also, available in Extended Temperature Ranges of -10C up to 85C for hot server applications.
INFINIBAND PRODUCTS
DAC & Splitter Cable Products
LinkX Direct Attach Copper cables are the lowest cost, EDR and HDR links up to 5m for 25G-NRZ EDR and up to 2.5m for 50G PAM4 HDR. DACs offer near-zero latency delays and power consumption making them ideal for in-rack switch to CPU, GPU, memories and storage subsystems. Typically used within system racks linking top-of-rack switches to ConnectX HCAs.
Active Optical Cables (AOCs)
LinkX AOCs Cables are the lowest cost optical interconnect available. Fibers are bonded inside the connectors to act similar to DACs but up to 150 meters for HDR. Offered in QSFP for EDR and HDR rates. LinkX has the longest history in the marketplace building AOCs and are widely used in HPCs, hyperscale and enterprises and in DGX artificial intelligence systems.
Optical Transceivers
LinkX optical transceivers are designed and manufactured by LinkX -including designing many transceiver ICs inside. Offering both multi- and single-mode transceivers in QSFP28 and QSFP56 and from FDR10/FDR, EDR and HDR and up to 2km, 10km and 40km in both NRZ and 50G-PAM4.
