Credo Technology Group Holding Ltd (Credo) (Nasdaq: CRDO), an
innovator in providing secure, high-speed connectivity solutions
that deliver improved energy efficiency as data rates and
corresponding bandwidth requirements increase throughout the data
infrastructure market, is excited to announce the new 800G ZeroFlap
(ZF) family of HiWire Active Electrical Cables (AECs) reaching
lengths of 7 m. These high-performance HiWire ZF AECs are designed
to deliver highly reliable interconnect for artificial intelligence
(AI) backend networks.

Credo Introduces 800G HiWire ZeroFlap
AECs For AI Backend Networks. With improved reach and signal
integrity, the HiWire ZF AECs deliver zero soft link flaps to
support the lossless backend RDMA network that AI clusters are
built on. These 800G AECs benefit from the newest advances in
liquid cooling, allowing the 7 m length to enable full
host-to-switch connectivity in leading GPU clusters. "Cluster
reliability is of paramount importance when building the biggest
supercomputers in the world with 100,000+ GPUs,” said Massine
Merzouk, Network Engineer at X, assisting xAI. “Credo’s HiWire AECs
offer the stable transport platform we need to build such massive
systems." (Graphic: Business Wire)
Credo’s 800G HiWire ZF AECs build on Credo’s already successful
HiWire AEC product family, with millions of units of HiWire AECs
already deployed at tier one hyperscalers. With improved reach and
signal integrity, the HiWire ZF AECs deliver zero soft link flaps
to support the lossless backend RDMA network that AI clusters are
built on. These 800G AECs benefit from the newest advances in
liquid cooling, allowing the 7 m length to enable full
host-to-switch connectivity in leading GPU clusters.
The HiWire ZF family includes four new product offerings:
- 800G OSFP to OSFP
- 800G OSFP to OSFP-RHS
- 800G OSFP to 2*OSFP-RHS
- 800G OSFP to 2*Q112
“Credo’s new HiWire ZeroFlap AECs enable a step function
improvement in GPU cluster reliability by eliminating the soft link
flaps frequently seen with legacy optics,” said Ameet Suri, Head of
AEC Product at Credo. “Further, when compared to legacy optics,
Credo’s HiWire AECs offer power savings of up to 14W per link and
cost savings of up to $1,000 per GPU.”
“Cluster reliability is of paramount importance when building
the biggest supercomputers in the world with 100,000+ GPUs,” said
Massine Merzouk, Network Engineer at X, assisting xAI. “Credo’s
HiWire AECs offer the stable transport platform we need to build
such massive systems.”
“Optics link flap is a developing issue in large GPU clusters –
with each link flap event resulting in up to 30 minutes of lost
training time and costing up to $200,000,” said Alan Weckel,
Founding Analyst at the 650 Group. “Credo HiWire AECs have much
higher hardware reliability, but more importantly, have been shown
to operate without link flaps for billions of field operating
hours.”
Credo will demonstrate the new HiWire ZF AEC cables at the
upcoming Open Compute Project 2024 Summit (OCP) in San Jose, USA
from Oct 15 – 17, 2024. Conference attendees are encouraged to
visit Credo in booth #B31 to learn more about these new HiWire ZF
AEC devices.
