What will it take to enable 448G data speeds in today’s hyperscale data centers and AI clusters? To find out, Molex conducted a study with a leading semiconductor company to gain a deeper understanding of the design requirements and possibilities for 448G-ready interconnects.  

In this part of our Navigating the Future of Data Transmission video series, Vivek Shah, Senior Director of Advanced Technology at Molex, shares key findings from this study. (Watch part one here! 🔗   • 448G and AI Clusters | Molex  )  

Shah dives into the two approaches to increase bandwidth—adding more lanes or doubling lane speed—and the impact of each choice on power, space and signal integrity.  

In addition, he unpacks how idealized channel models and advanced modulation schemes like PAM-4, PAM-6 and PAM-8 help to speed up the development of next-gen system design. The study also focused on noise and signal analysis; watch as Shah breaks down insights on bit error rate, noise budgets and the impact of equalizers.  

Check out the video to learn the most important information Molex uncovered from the study, including: 

• How idealized channel models reveal performance tradeoffs evading manufacturing limitations 

• How different modulation schemes affect complexity and performance across bandwidth and signal requirements 

• What the study uncovered about insertion loss, crosstalk, return loss and skew at higher speeds 

• How equalization techniques influence signal-to-noise ratio and bit error rates in real-world systems
