Quellan Brings PCI Express from Motherboard to the Data Center
Using X-TEN(TM) Technology and Molex iPass Interconnect System
LISLE, Ill., June 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Quellan Incorporated, a leading
provider of analog signal integrity chips for the rapidly growing
data center, consumer, automotive and cell phone markets, and
Molex(R) Incorporated (NASDAQ:MOLXNASDAQ:MOLXA), a global
manufacturer of interconnect systems, today ran the proposed PCI
Express Cable Standard to 30 meters -- a breakthrough for Data
Center economics. At Globalcomm, both Quellan and Molex
demonstrated the ability to extend data center reach at 2.5 Gbps to
over four times the length of the currently proposed PCI Express
Standard of seven meters. By combining Quellan's low power X-TEN
Cable Extension Module with Molex's iPass(TM) interconnect system,
signal reach extension is made possible by compensating for channel
noise, attenuation and impairments, all of which greatly affect
signal quality after seven meters of transmission. Ideal for high
density clusters and remote I/O applications, reach extension of
PCI Express allows Data Center equipment to be interconnected at
ultra high speeds using a low cost PC standard. "Molex has
established itself as a major player in PC interconnect technology,
in particular given our recent success of using the iPass
Interconnect System within the PCI Express Standard," said Gourgen
Oganessyan, Senior Signal Integrity Engineer, Molex Incorporated.
"Partnering with a cutting-edge silicon technology player such as
Quellan has allowed us to extend the reach of our cable assemblies,
while ensuring reliable data transmission at PCI speeds (up to five
Gbps), and all the way to next generation SAS speeds (up to 6
Gbps). By doing this we have demonstrated a feasible and cost
effective technology that will cover over 90 percent of the Data
Center application space." "PCI Express is a major PC Interconnect
Standard today. Bringing this pervasive PC interconnect to the Data
Center will provide huge economic benefits, now that it can go the
distance," said Tony Stelliga, President and CEO of Quellan. "The
Quellan Lane Manager chips used in our X-TEN Module coupled with
Molex's iPass interconnect system enable this transition to PC
economics in the Data Center." About Molex Incorporated Molex
