Why develop a hybrid cable? Because the quest for greater optimization in AI data centers never ends.
High speed cable developer and manufacturer Luxshare-Tech and Marvell showed off the industry’s first hybrid AEC/ACC solution at OFC 2026, the latest step in enhancing copper interconnects to meet the stringent power, performance and reach standards of AI infrastructure.
Active electrical cables (AECs) are designed for comparatively long (~4-9 meter) high-bandwidth connections within or between racks. The boost in reach over passive copper cables is accomplished by integrating optimized AEC DSPs into the terminal ends of a cable. Active Copper Cables (ACCs), by contrast, rely on equalizers and redrivers for extending reach. ACCs consume far less power than AECs but generally are deployed for in-rack connections running 2 meters or less.
Hybrid AEC/ACC cables combine technologies from both for a solution that delivers a longer, AEC-like reach and the low latency, low power, low cost and low complexity benefits of ACC designs.
