A Cable System-on-Chip (SoC) is a technological advance in the domain of cable-based communication systems.
It integrates various functions and components onto a single microprocessor, thereby improving the performance, efficiency, and capacities of cable-related applications.
The Cable SoC blends processing power, data modulation, signal conditioning, and other critical features into a tiny chip to meet the growing demand for high-speed data transmission, entertainment services, and network connectivity.
This integration improves overall system performance by streamlining manufacturing processes, lowering power usage, and streamlining manufacturing processes.
Cable SoCs are used in a variety of industries, including cable modems, set-top boxes, smart TVs, and networking equipment.
Cable SoCs provide quicker data processing, greater signal quality, and increased capabilities such as advanced security measures and support for upcoming communication standards by combining formerly distinct components into a single chip.
The Global Cable SoC market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
Point2 Announces Industry’s Lowest Power 112G Mixed-Signal SoC for 800G Active Electrical Cables.
Point2 Technology, a provider of low-power interconnect SoC solutions for 5G and cloud datacenter infrastructure, unveiled its newest P1B120 mixed-signal SoC product.
In hyperscale, cloud, and enterprise data centers, the new P1B120 SoC is intended for top of rack (ToR) switch to ToR switch, ToR switch to Smart NIC, and distributed disaggregated chassis (DDC) interconnects.
The second-generation P1B120 SoC from Point 2 Technology was built using its well-proven low-power, mixed-signal architecture in a top CMOS process.
It supports 800G active electrical cables (AECs) at 5W per paddle card and has adaptive line compensation to support various cable lengths.
The P1B120 represents a breakthrough in datacenter energy efficiency, consuming 40% less power than current industry solutions.
AECs based on Point2’s mixed-signal SoCs are thinner, lighter, and more flexible than other AECs because they can employ lower gauge copper cabling, which reduces overall cable volume by up to 40%. using 32-port racks, a dozen racks per cabinet, and a dozen cabinets in a room, cable volume reduction using Point2-based AECs considerably decreases congested cabinet space, resulting in a dramatic boost in airflow to cool the installed equipment.
With approximately 40% of datacenter energy consumption dedicated to powering cooling and ventilation systems, the P1B120 SoC’s lower power consumption, combined with significantly improved airflow in data centre installations, will enable hyperscalers and enterprises to scale their installation performance while improving energy efficiency and sustainability.
The P1B120 mixed-signal SoC includes eight unidirectional serial data channels, as well as clock data recovery (CDR)/re-timer functionalities that handle 112G (PAM4) or 56G (NRZ) data speeds.
The sophisticated mixed-signal design with BER-aware signal processing achieves one order of magnitude better pre-FEC BER than other AEC IC solutions, resulting in enhanced mean time before failure (MTBF) for deployed devices.
During AEC development and field servicing, the on-chip intelligent engine provides self-diagnostic capabilities.
The P1B120, when combined with enhanced MTBF, provides AECs with best-in-class network quality of service for deployed devices
. The P1B120 is an excellent cloud-connect option for DDCs, enterprise networks, and edge cloud applications.
