LDA Technologies Unveils VeloCT Cabling Ecosystem, Slashing Layer 1 Latency by up to 10x

Subscribe to our newsletter

LDA Technologies has launched VeloCT, a new plug-and-play cabling ecosystem that delivers a tenfold reduction in trade data distribution latency, achieving one-way latency of just 0.5 nanoseconds—down from the typical 4-5ns with standard Layer 1 devices. This breakthrough enables firms in latency-sensitive environments to replace Layer 1 switches while maintaining data duplication and monitoring capabilities.

VeloCT combines ultra-low latency fan-out modules, twinax copper cables, and modular transceivers to offer a flexible, cost-effective alternative to conventional networking setups. The chassis supports up to 22 modules and includes compact 1-to-4 and 1-to-8 link splitters, specialised cables that reduce latency by 0.6ns per metre, and support for SFP, QSFP, and QSFP-DD interfaces. The system also removes the need for separate tap devices by duplicating outgoing data streams, allowing precise packet analysis with minimal infrastructure.
