How to Handle the Increasing Data Demands on Server-Farm Cabling

Point2 Technology’s David Kuo explains how e-Tube technology combats the limitations of copper cabling by leveraging mmWave transmitter/receiver SoCs and a dielectric waveguide.

The amount of data that a server farm, regardless of its size, must manage is tremendous. This data-management challenge isn’t just at the board level, it’s also a challenge in the cables and interconnect between the modules and their racks. 

Point2 Technology’s e-Tube technology helps overcome the limitations of conventional copper cabling while eliminating the power, latency, and cost of optical solutions to provide multi-terabit interconnectivity. e-Tube transmits data wirelessly using millimeter-wave RF transmitter/receiver SoCs through a dielectric waveguide—the e-Tube Core—made of common plastic material. 

In this podcast, we talk to David Kuo, Associate Vice President, Product Marketing and Business Development, at Point2 Technology, about e-Tube technology and its benefits.
