Spectra7 Microsystems Inc. announced that Zhaolong Interconnect Technology Co. Ltd. will offer Active Copper Cable (ACC) assemblies with 112G PAM4 signaling to Hyperscalers and OEM/ODMs in both North America and China that will include Spectra7's GC1122 GaugeChanger chips. 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 DSP based retimed copper solutions.

Competing technologies typically use 700 to 1000% more power than Spectra7's GaugeChanger™ technology.
