AI Data Center Switch PCB Applications and Manufacturing Requirements
Large-scale AI training and inference require high-speed data exchange between servers and compute nodes, placing greater demands on network bandwidth and data transmission efficiency. As a key component of data center networks, switches handle data forwarding and high-speed interconnection between compute nodes and network devices. High-speed Ethernet connections such as 400G and 800G are already used in some AI and high-performance data center networks, while data center networks continue to evolve toward higher bandwidth. As switch port speeds, channel counts, and data throughput increase, PCB manufacturing faces more stringent requirements for low-loss material performance, circuit fabrication precision, impedance control, and multilayer interconnection. PCBs provide electrical connections and signal transmission paths for switch chips, high-speed interfaces, power circuits, and other functional modules. In high-speed data center switches, PCBs need to support no...
