Maze
160 links · 10/25G or 40 links · 40/100G
Full mesh, low latency, full flexibility
LDA Maze provides full mesh 10G and 25G Layer 1 connectivity, delivering unprecedented density and low latency while supporting both existing and upgraded infrastructure. Firms can continue using a 10G setup but also scale to 25G without needing to overhaul the rest of their environment. With our new, low latency, Layer 1 fabric, you can connect every port where it needs to go.

The Fabric
25G full mesh capability unlocked
LDA Maze is a non-blocking, full mesh Layer 1 fabric for trading infrastructure providing 160 links of 10/25G or up to 40 links of 40/100G. The network runs without contention no matter how you use it: fan-out, replication, cross connects.
Benefits
25G Unlocked
Connect any port to any port with Layer 1 at 25G: no blocking, no planning around limits.
Density at a New Level
A link count never seen before at 25G: 160 in a single fabric.
Low Latency, as Always at LDA
Low latency across a non-blocking Layer 1 fabric, at 3.6–4.1ns port-to-port, measured through the I/O cards.
Flexible Media
SFP, QSFP and QSFP-DD I/O cards combine in any mix to set your front panel: the port layout follows the deployment.
Interconnect Anything
Connect the fabric to other components within the chassis, front-panel ports, FPGA boards, NICs and other equipment alike, with our signature use of ARC6 connectors.
HPC and AI Ready
Mesh multiple FPGAs together for HPC and AI builds when aggregating 160 25G links to 40 × 100G.
I/O Cards
Set the front panel
Three swappable card types, combined in any mix.
16 × 10/25G
SFP
Single-lane ports for the highest drop count.
8 cages → 32 links
QSFP
Break out to 40/100G trunks or 25G lanes.
8 cages → 64 links
QSFP-DD
Double-density cages — the most links per card.
Across LDA Platforms
One fabric, broader reach
LDA Maze is a non-blocking, full mesh Layer 1 fabric for trading infrastructure providing 160 links of 10/25G or up to 40 links of 40/100G. The network runs without contention no matter how you use it: fan-out, replication, cross connects.
