PATENTED

ACTIVE OPTICAL CABLE (AOC), 0.8mm (0.0315")
HIGH-PERFORMANCE INTERCONNECT TECHNOLOGY FOR
SCALABLE SYSTEM CLUSTERS AND SUBSYSTEMS
AirBorn’s high-density, high-reliability HD4™ interconnect technology is the result of the company’s close cooperation with
the HyperTransport Technology Consortium – of which AirBorn is a contributing member. Expressly designed to be an
electrically-optimized and highly dense physical layer medium for the Consortium’s industry-standard HyperShare™ scalable
interconnect technology, HD4™ products can also deliver their unique values to many other popular high-performance
interconnect standards.
Boasting the smallest footprint in the industry, HD4’s™ high bandwidth, minimized signal loss and mission-critical reliability
makes it uniquely suitable for the most demanding, multi-dimensional network fabrics and ultra-fast storage/SSD cluster
applications used in next-generation data center and cloud computing platforms.
