Context Before

For the LPX, Amphenol will be a beneficiary for all the connectors for the backplane. Each LPX node requires 16 80DP Paladin connectors for the backplane. There are also board to board connectors required to connect all the various modules within the tray: the main LPU board with the host CPU module and the OSFP/QSFP modules that sit below the CPU module, the front-end NIC module, and the management module. Amphenol will supply the cable backplane too which is 8,160 DP per rack.

NVL288 System

Evidence

For the Vera Rubin Ultra NVL288 System that we discussed above, we would say the cable backplane return for Kyber. If Rubin Ultra is deployed in such a form factor – each of the Rubin Ultra GPUs will have a scale-up bandwidth of 14.4Tbit/s uni-di, requiring 144 DPs of cables to connect to the NVSwitches. 144 DPs times 288 GPUs means a total of 41,472 DPs to connect this larger world size domain. This is a lot of cables, so it is more of an upper bound of how much cable content could be used here. If there is oversubscription or if the inter-rack connection is made through the switches – it is possible fewer DPs would be needed.

Context After

FIT Joining the Party

Backplane cable cartridge and Paladin connector demand is so strong that Amphenol cannot keep up with supply. Amphenol has now completed licensing of the VR NVL72 backplane cable cartridge as well as Paladin HD connectors to FIT, who can now manufacture these components. This has been in the works for a long time but is finally settled. Amphenol will earn licensing fees from FIT’s sales of these licensed components.

② Atomic Claim

若 Rubin Ultra 以此 form factor 部署,每顆 Rubin Ultra GPU 將提供 14.4Tbit/s uni-di scale-up bandwidth,並需要 144 DP cable 連到 NVSwitch。
