Luxshare-Tech’s Intrepid™ NEXUS ecosystem delivers on this vision. The system’s co-optimized cable cartridge and backplane solutions enable low-loss signal paths, superior impedance control, and simplified high-density integration—all crucial for scaling AI data centers efficiently.

Intrepid™ NEXUS Cable Cartridge Solution-

The Cable Cartridge embodies a fully automated, vertically integrated design that brings together precision engineering and production scalability. Featuring a high-density 2.4 × 2.4 mm backplane connector and Luxshare-Tech’s Optamax™ 224G bulk cable with 92-ohm impedance, the solution ensures consistent electrical performance across thousands of channels. Every assembly undergoes automated optical inspection and BERT testing, guaranteeing robust quality and reliability at scale.

With more than 300 million differential pairs of cable backplane deliveries and over 15 years of system-level experience, Luxshare-Tech continues to set the standard for high-performance interconnect design and manufacturing.

Intrepid™ NEXUS Backplane Solution-

Complementing the cartridge, the Backplane supports 224G PAM4 applications and is designed for seamless scalability to 75 GHz operation. Its independent differential pair design minimizes crosstalk, while shrouded ground structures protect connectors from pin deformation. A precision floating guide-pin system further enhances alignment accuracy, enabling smooth cartridge installation and long-term mechanical stability.

Scaling Toward 448G and Beyond-

Through ongoing collaboration with major SerDes vendors, Luxshare-Tech has demonstrated that a 448G copper link is achievable through advanced channel simulations and real-world system testing. These innovations align with the broader industry movement toward unified, rack-scale AI architectures, proving that copper remains a viable and cost-effective medium for future generations of high-speed computing.

Luxshare-Tech’s Intrepid™ NEXUS platform exemplifies the company’s commitment to innovation—delivering solutions that combine signal integrity, density, and manufacturability to power the next evolution of AI infrastructure.
