7:00 am ET February 19, 2019 (BusinessWire)

Spectra7 Microsystems Inc. (TSX:SEV) ("Spectra7" or the "Company"), a leading provider of high-performance analog semiconductor products for broadband connectivity markets, announced that it will be showcasing its innovative GaugeChanger(TM) technology for data center Active Copper Cables (ACCs) at the Optical Networking and Communications Conference & Exhibition (OFC) in San Diego, CA running from March 5th though the 7th, 2019.

"We've seen a fantastic response for our active copper cable technology, especially in the hyperscale data center market," said Spectra7's CEO Raouf Halim. "With the buildout of these data centers accelerating, we believe OFC 2019 is the perfect venue to highlight our new technologies. We look forward to meeting both current and new customers to demonstrate how our semiconductors can accelerate their product development cycles as data rates increase."

GaugeChanger(TM) is an innovative and disruptive technology that allows copper to extend much longer lengths without the cost and power penalty of optics. It works equally well at 25 Gbps NRZ and 50 Gbps PAM-4 enabling new connector standards of 100, 200 and 400 Gbps.

Spectra7 will be showcasing its GaugeChanger(TM) technology at Booth #5408

The Ethernet Alliance will also be hosting several extensive interoperability demonstrations and showcasing Spectra7's GaugeChanger(TM) technology at Booth #4749
