Enterprise Data Solutions (EDS)

The escalating Internet data trac has stimulated anunprecedented growth in the communication data center

inrastructure. Higher bandwidth networking protocols

such as Ethernet and InniBand are evolving rapidly to

support data rates o 40/100 Gb/s and 120 Gb/s respec-

tively. Signicant changes in storage area networking

(SAN) and high perormance computing (HPC) are trans-

orming the cabling technology requirements or data

centers and computer rooms.

The cabling interconnect technology, materials and

construction, plays an increasingly larger role in the

achievable interconnect distances and cable manage-

ment aspects or these high speed-high density data cen-

ters, computer rooms, and equipment rooms. Network

designers are struggling with critical path design choices.

LEONIs EDS makes the right design choices possible.

LEONI high speed parallel pair cables with LEONIsespecially ormulated dielectric enables a smaller cable

diameter; reducing cable density and improving air fow

and heat dissipation within servers and storage enclos-

ures. LEONIZELL dielectrics oer signicantly lower loss

and reduced time delay skew and amplitude skew over

alternative materials.

Due to their combined mechanical and electrical

perormance, high speed cables rom LEONI are also

deployed in mobile networks serving as high speed inter-

connections between racks inside base stations.

LEONIs ParaLinkcable product line is designed and

oered to optimise the bandwidth cost ratio or a variety

o high speed copper applications. ParaLinkhas esta-

blished the benchmark or size, perormance, and cost

over current data center product oerings.

Due to its almost unique value added chain, LEONI is able

to oer ber optic and data cables or EDS next to the

Telecom business units ParaLinksolutions.

Dielectric Technologies

LEONIZELL unique gas injection skin-oam-skin dielectric technology

has been specically developed or the ParaLinkhigh speed dieren-

tial pair product line. The LEONIZELL structure oers a very rugged

and stable mechanical structure with the ollowing advantages and

benets compared to legacy industry structures:

Maximum adhesion to the inner conductor

limits pistoning eects with cable fexure

minimises shrink back eects

o the dielectric during termination (soldering / welding)

eliminates air voids close to the center conductor

prevents instable electrical perormance

Resilience to mechanical deormations

minimises perormance degradation during and ater installation

eliminates insertion loss suck-outs caused by bending and fexure

ensures predictable perormance even ater severe abuse

Colour coding

enables an easy termination

enables orientation o the conductors within the pair

elimination o perormance degradation due to pigmentation

within dielectric technologies

Cabling Technologies

The unique cabling technology used in the ParaLinkmanuacturing

process oers signicant space savings and a reduction o the outer

cable diameter, in most cases up to 15 % and even as much as 20 %

compared to conventional cabling technologies. The ParaLinkunilay

cable lay-up prevents mechanical deormation o the dierential pair

at the same time as reducing the eect o compression on dierential

pairs. Thereore it minimises negative infuences on the transmission

line and

improves the transmission lines signal integrity.

ParaLinkUnique Perormance

The variation o insertion loss (ILV) measures the dierences o inser-

tion loss between channels or pairs. Certain actor, or example return

loss, mode conversion, impedance, dimensions o cable, insulation

materials have an infuence on the pair insertion loss (IL). I the IL

between all pairs o a cable varies in a small range (typ. less than

5 % with ParaLink) the quality o the cable is high and the channel

perormance is predictable.

Mode Conversion (SCDxy) describes the relationship between trans-

mitted dierential mode signal energy at one end o the cable to the

received common mode energy at the other end. It is measured in the

requency domain. The eect o mode conversion (MC) is additional

insertion loss and it occurs mostly due to asymmetry between both

signal wires o a pair. In time domain this eect is well known as intra

pair skew, a time delay between both signal parts at 50 % o the sig-

nal step. Measuring the mode conversion o a cable has the advantageagainst skew measurements, that the losses o the dierential signal

or dierent data rates (= dierent requency bandwidths) will be

visible.

Examples or Mode Conversion:

Insertion Loss Variation (ILV) Mode Conversion

Ideal cable: A symmetric dierential signal is transmitted into a cable

without loss. Tx+(t) = Tx-(t)

At the receiving end the dierential mode signal has twice the height

o the signal parts Tx+ and Tx-. In this case a common mode signal

does not exist.

Bad CableParaLink

I the cable is almost absolutely symmetric, both transmitted signal

parts arrive simultaneously with the same (opposite) amplitude atten-

uated at the receiving end o the cable. Because Rx+(t) signal is close

to Rx-(t) signal, the common mode signal is still very low.

Due to dierent lengths o the wires within the shielded pair, the posi-

tive signal part o the dierential signal arrives at the receiving end o

the cable at a dierent time compared to the negative part. The Rx+(t)

signal is not equal to -Rx-(t) any more. A common mode signal arises.

At the same time the dierential mode signal energy decreases.

LEONI Measuring Laboratory

The measuring laboratory o the LEONI Business Unit Telecom isintended to unction as a research and development lab. It will also

provide quality assurance or manuacturing high-speed cables or

high-bandwidth/requency applications.

A ully air-conditioned, antistatic environment and proper measu-

rement xture methods have been created and developed to ensure

the accuracy, calibration and repeatability o testing activities. The test

lab is equipped with state-o-the-art network analyzers rom Agilent

Technologies, enabling tests or dierential transmission lines in re-

quencies up to 50 GHz.

Two 4 port network analyzers (4x 50 Ohm or 2x 100 Ohm) equipped

with the newest PLTS (Physical Layer Test System) sotware avoid the

need or transormers, thus providing accurate measurements o the

transmission line.

Traditional measuring transormers must be used with an impe-

dance matching the impedance or the transmission line, usually about

100 Ohm or InniBand and 150 Ohm or Fibre Channel applications.

They are limited in the measurement o high requencies and cannot

measure mode conversion. This makes it virtually impossible to take

accurate measurements in the bandwidth o interest or the high-

perormance transmission line applications mentioned above.

The lab is also equipped with two Tektronix TDA or time domainmeasurements, such as time delay, skew, impedance and distance

to ault, which can also be determined in the requency domain

using network analyzers. However, using network analyzers requires

signicant margins o error in mathematical transormations rom

requency to time domain.

The LEONI signal integrity development laboratory has extensive

proprietary sotware at disposal to model, simulate and emulate all

perormance aspects o the signal integrity o a given dierential

transmission line, including SPICE and eField models. That, combinded

with 12,5 GB/s Advantest pulse pattern generators, provides LEONI

with a solid engineering base to aid and accelerate customer develop-

ment programs.

LEONI quality managementA consistently high level o quality is vital or our products.

This means that the entire process at LEONI rom a products plan-

ning to its completion is constantly monitored. Our quality man-

agement system is certied in accordance with DIN/ISO 9001:2000

and is updated permanently.

Environment-riendly and sae

O course, halogen-ree versions o a great number o the cables in

our range are also available. This does reduce the strain in the envi-

ronment, it also means less smoke and corrosive emissions in case

o a re or your saety.

LEONI environmental management

For us, business success with ecological responsibility is not a con-

tradiction in terms. Because o this, environmental protection is an

intrinsic element o our corporate activities. Our environment man-

agement system is certied as complying with DIN EN ISO 14001,

conrming that our environment policy is eectively implemented.
