Why Expanding AI Compute Capacity Relies More Heavily on High-Speed Interconnect FabricIn recent years, a clear trend has emerged in the AI industry: GPU performance continues to improve, AI cluster scales continue to expand, and network switching capacity grows rapidly. However, one often overlooke

xAI showcased its new-gen GB200 network interconnection, with 7m Active Electrical Cables (AEC) enabling stable intra/inter-cabinet links for AI training. Zhaolong, a core partner of leading AEC providers, leverages high-speed cable expertise to address long-distance signal integrity, mass-deploying 800Gb/s AEC copper cables certified by top cloud services, supporting ChatGPT training. As AI evolves, high-speed interconnects shift from "support" to "critical compute infrastructure," with Zhaolong poised to drive AI computing power.

Twinax Cables Power AI Data Centers​​： AI’s boom drives data centers to ultra-high speeds (400G–1.6T). Twinax cables, key connective media for DAC/ACC/AEC, emerge as "transmission powerhouses" (28G–224G) via low-latency, high-bandwidth, anti-interference design. Zhaolong’s HSC bare wires, using self-developed FEP foam and silver-plated copper, offer cost-effective solutions (32–26AWG, 2–16 pairs, 28G–224G). Lightweight, foldable, they save space/power vs fiber, boosting client tech leadership in AI/HPC/data centers.

For smaller-scale data centers, deploying high-speed copper interconnects—such as Direct Attach Copper (DAC), Active Copper Cables (ACC), and Active Electrical Cables (AEC)—ensures low-latency, high-throughput intra-data center connectivity, as validated by industry benchmarks. This article explores this paradigm shift and its practical implementation.

From September 25 to 26, 2024, the 2024 Annual Meeting of the Electrical Branch of China Engineering & Consulting Association(CECA) was successfully held in Guangzhou. This meeting was sponsored by the Electrical Branch of China Engineering & Consulting Association and co-organized by Zhejiang Zhaolong Interconnect Technology Co., Ltd.. The conference conducted the "Annual Excellent Partner Commendation Ceremony", and Zhaolong Interconnect was awarded the 2024 "Platinum Partner" by the Electrical Branch of China Engineering & Consulting Association. On September 26, at the Third Master Forum of the Electrical Branch of the China Engineering & Consulting Association(CECA), Li Jianhua, the product technology manager of communication and data center of Zhaolong Interconnect, was invited to deliver a keynote speech themed "Data Center Cabling Under the Wave of AI" at the conference. In his speech, Li Jianhua stated that the key to AI data centers lies in...
