Accelerate your AI infrastructure assessment process with Keysight's next-generation VNA solution.

The market for AOC, DAC, and AEC cables is projected to reach $2.8 billion by 2028 with a growth rate of over 20% CAGR. This confirms that connectivity infrastructure is developing at a rapid pace, even faster than the simple chip processing process.

1. Opportunities arising from the explosion of connectivity in the AI era

AI is completely overshadowing traditional (non-AI) applications. Older Ethernet standards are being replaced by AI-specific protocols with stringent requirements for extremely high bandwidth and extremely low latency.

With the pressure of mass-producing optical cables and modules daily, maintaining absolute quality is a difficult challenge. The VNA Keysight machine is the "key" to inspecting thousands of cables with high accuracy, completely eliminating bottlenecks in AI supercomputer networks.

AI is a fertile ground but also presents significant technical challenges in terms of measurement and testing. The explosion in demand for AI connectivity is not just about market size; it's directly changing how we design and build hardware infrastructure. To meet this enormous bandwidth demand, engineers are simultaneously implementing two core scaling strategies: Scale-up and Scale-out.

2. AI Infrastructure Strategy: Scale-up & Scale-out

Scale-up (Internal Server Connection): Connects GPUs/XPUs at extremely close distances (NVLink/PCIe).

VNA machines optimize hardware design, including controlling crosstalk on the PCB and ensuring power integrity to prevent voltage drops during heavy data processing.

Scale-out (Wide Area Network Connection): Links thousands of servers via optical networks (Ethernet/InfiniBand).

The VNA system will ensure the continuous accuracy of the network by: assessing the quality of the fiber optic cable (AOC) and transceiver modules, ensuring Signal Integrity with no bit errors at speeds of 800G/1.6T.

3. Solving the AI Infrastructure Strategy Problem with the Keysight VNA Ecosystem

Streamline Series VNA is considered a mobile lab for ultra-fast AI infrastructure.

- Its ultra-compact USB design (only 2kg) offers flexibility for both on-site and in-data center testing.

- It boasts powerful performance with an extended frequency range up to 53 GHz or 330 GHz (mmWave).

Do you know? Keysight VNA is an indispensable platform for realizing ultra-fast connectivity systems currently running ChatGPT or Grok.

4. Utilizing VNA Keysight to accelerate research and evaluation of AI applications

- Signal Integrity (SI): Simultaneous time-domain (TDR) and frequency-domain measurements on a single device, reducing setup time by 50%.

- PCB & Material Optimization: Accurately determine dielectric constant (Dk/Df) accuracy in the mmWave range to reduce the number of trial fabrications.

- Power Supply Integrity (PI): Address voltage drop and EMI issues on GPU boards by measuring PDN impedance.

- Multi-port connectivity system: Configure VNA with up to 12 ports to simultaneously measure multiple signal pairs in AI Tray Switches.

Why Does a Soldering Iron Heat Up Quickly but Still Solder Slowly ?

Before contacting the material, a handheld soldering iron mainly heats the soldering tip. Once soldering begins, heat is continuously transferred from the tip to the material. If the heat supply is not sufficient to compensate for heat loss, the temperature at the contact area drops and the processing time increases

Causes of nylon fabric yellowing

Nylon fabric yellowing is a surface color change in which white or light-colored material turns yellow when exposed to light, heat, or chemicals. Therefore, a fabric color fastness tester is an essential part of the quality control process, helping manufacturers evaluate color stability before discoloration occurs in finished products.
