QSFP InfiniBand™ Solutions to Reduce Top-of-Rack Network Latency

Achieving peak network performance starts with optimizing fiber infrastructure in the core. Data centers and enterprise networks utilizing 100G & 200G links often find transceiver module & cabling costs high or inventory unavailable on demand from OEM providers.

ProLabs returns the power of choice to your network with cost savings on expertly coded OEM compatible fiber modules, DACs, AOCs, patch cables, & breakout cables.

Why Choose an InfiniBand™ Solution for your Fiber Network?

InfiniBand™ technologies are latency reducing while maintaining 200G data rates. InfiniBand™ is ideal for network applications requiring low latency, such as high-performance computing and high-frequency trading (HFT).

InfiniBand™ achieves reduced latency without compromising on density or rate by utilizing a highly efficient architecture. This
architecture effectively reduces latency to a fraction of Ethernet, which requires Forward Error Correction (FEC) and gear boxes to retime PAM-4 to NRZ (adding latency to networks).

InfiniBand™ Specifications:
