SC09: And the winner is…

No CommentsPosted by Jan Meise on December 9, 2009

As promised we are excited to announce the winning result from our Laserwire® weight competition at Supercomputing 09.

Our question was: What is the % savings in weight of a 10 meter Laserwire active optical cable compared to a 10 meter RJ-45 cat6a cable?

The correct answer is: 85.46%

Check out the pictures of the Laserwire 10m cable weighing in at 98 grams and the Cat6a 10m cable with 674 grams.

The iPOD will go to the lucky winner from Stanford University who had the closest guess of 85.5%.
