The explosion of multimedia content on the Internet and distributed computing demands are driving dramatic increases in bandwidth and power requirements across data communications systems. However, interconnect length remains the same, posing power and signal integrity issues. National's PCI Express, 10G Ethernet, SAS/SATA, and InfiniBand signal conditioners for the active copper cable assemblies and backplane boards ensure signal integrity, reduce system power consumption and lower interconnect cost compared to optical alternatives. National's other energy-efficient, next-generation products address the critical needs of data communications and data centers, including 48V and point-of-load power and other low-power analog solutions.

DS100BR410/210/111 - 10.3125 Gbps Repeaters
- Comprehensive portfolio
- (4-channel, unidirectional)
- (2-channel, unidirectional)
- (1-channel, bidirectional)
- Twice the performance, half the power
- Highest equalization (36 dB), de-emphasis (12 dB) – Extend reach up to 20m (AWG-24), 50" (FR-4)
- Lowest power (55 mW per 10 Gbps channel) – Simplifies thermal design
- Lowest residual jitter (< 0.3UI at 10 Gbps) – Increased system jitter margin
- Easy to use – Single power supply, flow-through pinout, pin/SMBus programmable
- Small footprint & low power fits SFP/SFP+, QSFP, CXP, SAS-HD, etc connectors
- Ideal for 10G Ethernet, SAS/SATA, InfiniBand, XAUI, CPRI etc. over FR-4 or cable assemblies
- Roadmap to 28 Gbps/ch
