1. Transmission dilemma in the high-density era: Why is 36P cable a must?
Global data center traffic is surging at a compound annual growth rate of 26% (data source: Cisco Global Cloud Index), and server manufacturers and hyperscale data centers face three core challenges:
1. Space limit compression: 1U servers need to deploy more storage units, and the volume of traditional cables occupies up to 35% of the available space;
2. High-frequency signal attenuation: At rates above 24Gbps, impedance mismatch causes the bit error rate (BER) to soar by 300%;
3. Operation and maintenance costs are out of control: a single downtime loss caused by a cable failure exceeds $50,000 (Uptime Institute report).
Mini SAS 8087 to 8087 36P high-speed cable is a high-density carrier of SAS-4 protocol. With its 36-pin ultra-dense interface, 6Gbps aggregate bandwidth and military-grade anti-vibration design, it has become the ultimate solution to break the transmission bottleneck of AI servers, all-flash arrays and edge data centers.
2. Seven technical winning points of Aiqun Industrial 36P high-speed cable
1. Space revolution: 7.5mm×14.5mm ultra-micro interface
- 36-pin high-density design: 2.3 times higher than the traditional SFF-8644 interface pin density, a single 1U server can deploy 12 cables (traditional solutions only 5);
- Application case: A leading customer uses Aiqun solution in Inspur NF5488M6 server, the storage unit capacity is expanded by 40%, and the rack power consumption is reduced by 18%.
2. 24Gbps/channel, releasing the extreme performance of SAS-4 protocol
- Four-channel full-duplex architecture: single-channel rate 24Gbps, aggregate bandwidth 96Gbps (can transmit 12,000 4K videos/minute);
- Measured data: verified by Tektronix DPO70000 oscilloscope, signal jitter <0.12UI, bit error rate (BER) ≤1E-16** (better than SAS-4 standard 50%).
3. Triple shielding, industry-leading EMI suppression capability
Shielding structure:
- First layer: 100% coverage aluminum foil shielding layer;
- Second layer: 128 braided tinned copper braided mesh (density 98%);
- Third layer: independent gold-plated grounding ring;
Measured performance: At 10GHz frequency, EMI interference suppression >68dB (competitive products average ≤60dB).
4. Ultra-low loss conductor, 102% IACS oxygen-free copper
Conductor process: Using high-purity OFC copper material from Furukawa Electric Co., Ltd., Japan, with a conductivity of 102% IACS (industry standard: 100%);
Loss comparison:
| Frequency (GHz) | Aiqun 36P cable (dB/m) | Industry average (dB/m) |
| 6 | 0.85 | 1.2 |
| 12 | 2.8 | 3.5 |

Life guarantee: passed IEC 60512-9-3 vibration test (20G acceleration, 2000 hours), life ≥10 years.
III. Scenario practice: How does 36P cable rewrite industry efficiency?
Case 1: AI training cluster - lossless interconnection of Qianka GPU
Customer pain point: An AI company needs to deploy 8 NVIDIA A100 GPUs in a 4U chassis. The delay of traditional cables causes the training cycle to be extended by 25%;
Aiqun solution: Deploy 36P cables, and 96Gbps bandwidth supports NVLink full-speed transmission;
Results: ResNet-50 model training time is shortened from 6.2 hours to 4.9 hours, and electricity costs are reduced by 31%.
Case 2: All-flash storage - IOPS exceeds 1.5 million
Customer pain point: The all-flash array of a cloud service provider is limited by cable bandwidth, and 4K random read and write is only 980K IOPS;
Aiqun solution: Replace with 36P cables and enable 4-channel full-duplex mode;
Results: IOPS soared to 1.52M, latency stabilized at 48μs, and customer renewal rate increased by 22%.
Case 3: Edge Data Center - Zero Failure in -40℃ Extreme Cold Environment
Customer Pain Point: The temperature of a northern edge data center is as low as -35℃ in winter, and the hardening of cables leads to a failure rate of 15%;
Aiqun Solution: Customized IP67 protection + cold-resistant silicone outer jacket version;
Results: Zero failure in winter operation for 2 consecutive years, and operation and maintenance costs reduced by 80%.
