This innovative solution not only adheres to the specifications and design rules of existing data centers but also greatly improves data transmission efficiency.
As an industry leader, FIT has always kept up with the latest trends in the data center field and has targeted three major directions for More Energy Saving, More Power Efficiency, and More Open Platforms in its 5GAIoT strategy.
This 800G High-Speed Connector completely breaks the traditional design of ASIC chip stacking, allowing signals to directly pass through the contact points and jump connectors on the chip, effectively eliminating signal loss, shortening the path between the chip and the connector, and maximizing transmission efficiency.
FIT also presents the concept of an all-in-one connector, replacing multiple connectors with a single connector, achieving a transmission efficiency of 800G. This connector combines 512 TWINAX cables and 2048 signal contact points, achieving an excellent transmission efficiency of up to 25.6Tbps.
Sustainability is always a priority for FIT, as seen in the design of the cable protector using recycled materials, ensuring corner protection for cables. The layered wire design facilitates uniform data signal transmission length, improving cable management and assembly.
With its innovative design and commitment to sustainable development, FIT is continuously designing new data center components to give enterprises greater power in the data-driven era. In recent years, FIT laser focuses on 3+3 strategy execution as its margin growth drivers, covering EV, Audio and 5G AIoT areas. With the support of the Red Dot Design Award for its 5GAIoT products, FIT will further enhance its future growth momentum.

FIT’s game-changing E-bike product allows sports commuters to operate the dashboard without looking
2022-03-09
(MENAFN- Think Alliance Group) Taiwan /Hong Kong – March 8, 2022 – Foxconn Interconnect Technology Ltd (“FIT”, Hong Kong Stock Exchange: 6088), a subsidiary of Hon Hai Precision Industry Co. Ltd (2317.TW), is actively deploying in the automotive field. Seeing the rise of personalized transportation after the pandemic, FIT launched the E-bike Display & Advanced Controller product. Taking the user experience as the starting point, unlike the traditional E-bike dashboard controller with as many as 7 to 8 buttons, FIT redefines the E-bike control auxiliary device to make the operation as simple as a bicycle bell. Whether it is an E-bike consumer or a heavy cyclist, consumers can intuitively and smoothly grasp the driving information and ensure driving safety.
FIT has been focusing on the manufacturing of traditional precision electronic components for a long time, and has excellent capabilities in product design and development. Combined with the development of wireless transmission and communication technology achievements in recent years, it has given full play to the resource advantages of the upstream and downstream supply chains of Hon Hai Group. It has developed the E-bike Display & Advanced Controller product. Personalized settings enable functions such as navigation, dashboard, and emergency phone closer to intuitive operation. It endows commuting with intelligent management, and heavy cyclists can also record voyages and personal sports performance. This lightweight, stylish, user-friendly and powerful end product will be exhibited at the Taipei Bicycle Show, Consortium Bicycle and Health Technology Industry Research and Development Center booth from March 9 to March 12, 2022.
Electric bicycles (E-bikes) are dark horses in the field of electric vehicles (EVs). They are labor-saving, lightweight and do not require a driver's license. They are very popular among sports commuters. They have become a popular choice for means of transportation in Europe. According to statistics from the Ministry of Economic Affairs, as early as before the pandemic, the output value of electric bicycles in Taiwan hit a new peak of NT$23.1 billion in 2019. Under the raging of the pandemic in the past two years, the willingness to choose public transportation in Europe has been greatly reduced, and electric bicycles meet the needs of urban population movement. Many governments also encourage people to use bicycles as a means of transportation and provide subsidies for the purchase of electric bicycles, which has greatly increased the sales of electric vehicles.
Taiwan is known as the bicycle mecca. Seeing the potential development of the E-bike market, FIT has become a member of the E-bike supply chain with its key competitiveness in precision manufacturing. Connector products have been sold to the world's top E-bikes brand. In the automotive field, it also exerts its innovative design and manufacturing capabilities, and launched its Display Key products for high-end vehicle keys. In the future, FIT will continue to deploy components and system products in the automotive field, focusing on the development of power management, vehicle networking and human-machine interface, and provide safer and high-quality products in the emerging energy vehicle market.

FIT 25G BASE-T RJ45 shows up in DesignCon
Teaming up with Alpha Networks Inc. for the world’s first 48 port 25G BASE-T Ethernet Switch
Taiwan – 2021/08/16 – Foxconn Interconnect Technology (6088.HK) (“FIT”)will jointly exhibit the 25G BASE-T RJ45 connector with Alpha Networks Inc.’s 48-port 25G BASE-T Ethernet switch in the DesignCon which is held on 2021/08/16 to 2021/08/18 in San José McEnery Convention Center, USA. This is the world’s first 25G BASE-T switch solution supporting regular twisted pair LAN cables. In response to the trend of 5G, Big Data, Cloud Computing, AI, V2X, Autonomous Driving, IoT, this 25G Base-T switch solution provides customers a more economical and valuable choice with for the future 10G BASE-T upgrades and edge computing deployment. FIT is honored to be the premier solution provider with the first 25G BASE-T Ethernet Switch in the world, meanwhile, it is also the first time for FIT to demonstrate its execution of 5G AIoT strategy. At DesignCon, FIT will also showcase products which supports 5G interconnection solution such as 400G & 800G QSFP-DD, PCIe5, DDR5, high speed cable, and more.
The time to upgrade from 10G BASE-T to 25G BASE-T is now approaching! FIT takes pride in the fact that our 25G Integrated RJ45 had launched in November 2020 that follows IEEE 802.3bq specification and is backward compatible to the 10G footprint layout, which reduces the additional cost in upgrading. In the data center and enterprise communication infrastructure, about 100 million 10G BASE-T RJ45 ports have been deployed and key OEMs are shipping about 15 million ports yearly. In addition, IEEE 802.3bq has defined 25G BASE-T/40G BASE-T physical layer and management parameters. As a result, 25G BASE-T can handle faster transfer speed through twisted pair LAN cable cables and this has great possibilities in various applications in the future.
"FIT continues to deploy based on our 5G AIoT strategic layout. Participation in the IEEE 802.3bq specification development for years, launching the development of 25G Base-T RJ45 in 2020, and providing optimal interconnect solutions for customers who need upgrades, all are the executions of our 5G AIoT strategy. FIT expects long-term cooperation with switch and server manufacturers in the industry to contribute to a better interconnected environment and create a win-win situation." said Mr. Joseph Wang, CTO of FIT Hon Teng.
