C2E High Density Fiber Distribution Panel
The C2E chassis provides a Data Center solution that is dense, modular and tray based. It is offered as either a dedicated Base-8 solution using the C2 Base-8 modules for MPO or MTP breakout modules, or a dedicated Base-12 version.
C2Storage: Bulk Fiber Storage Tray
Fiber cable entry and exit gates have a front-facing door that opens to make it easier to get fibers in and out of the tray. The gates are several times larger than those in legacy slack storage trays, producing an industry-leading 96 1.6mm fiber cable capacity. The routing arcs within the tray have movable fingers, which greatly facilitates accessing the fibers during and after installation.
C2X Fiber Distribution Panel
The C2X chassis' supports multiple patch, patch/splice, and pre-terminated fiber configurations available in either bulkhead or cassette solutions. C2X tray-based option accepts C2 AOMs (Advanced Optical Modules) for patch, patch/splice, as well as splitters, MPO breakouts, and WDMs. C2X is available in 1, 2, 3, or 4RU and supports vast fiber counts.
Cascade 1RU Bulkhead Panel
The Cascade Panel is a 1RU chassis with spaces for 4x custom patch plates at a total density of 96 LCs in a single rack unit. The Cascade Panel has a sliding tray that brings the adapters forward, allowing for easier
access when performing moves, adds, or changes. Its simple,
streamlined design provides a balance of density and usability
when connecting multiple LC or MPO connections.
CFP 100G Transceivers
Amphenol 100G CFP/CFP2/CFP4 series optical transceivers support from 10km to 40km reach, adopt LC interface, compatible with IEEE802.3ba, MSA, and other standards. It has the characteristics of low power consumption, dual rate, and high speed. It is widely applied in large data centers, telecom, and other environments.
CFP2
Amphenol's CFP2 series offers a 104 position, 0.6mm pitch connector designed to be compatible with 100Gb/s Form Factor Pluggable (CFP) Multi-Source Agreement for Ethernet and other applications. Rated for 25Gb/s per channel with resonance dampening for improved signal integrity, CFP2 has up to 60% lower power consumption versus CFP.
CFP4
Amphenol's CFP4 series offers a 56 position, 0.6mm pitch connector, and is used in multi-hundred Gb/s systems. Rated for 25Gb/s per channel with resonance dampening for improved signal integrity, CFP4 has up to 60% lower power consumption versus CFP. The CFP4 series includes a plug connector on the mating interface to improve accuracy and aid in delivering high-speed performance.
CFP8
Amphenol's CFP8 interconnect system has 124 contacts per port, with a 0.5mm contact pitch and 16 high-speed channels. It is rated for 28Gb/s per channel with resonance dampening for improved signal integrity. It is comprised of insert molding assemblies for top side contacts and Press-Fit cage assemblies.
Chameleon®
With performance speeds up to 25 Gbps+, Chameleon meets the demand for faster, smaller, and more compact connector solutions. With stack heights from 6mm to 10mm in 1mm increments, pin counts from 40 to 500+, and pair counts from 16 to 160, Chameleon provides you with a ready platform to easily change and adapt to your design requirement.
cLGA®
The Amphenol ICC cLGA® land grid array socket system was designed to bring conventional connector material construction to high-performance, low-cost chip-to-board applications. cLGA® sockets are used in applications ranging from handheld computer products to supercomputer systems. The cLGA® socket is fully qualified under Telcordia GR-1217-CORE specifications.
Coaxial Fixed Attenuators
Amphenol RF attenuators are designed to offer flat attenuation over the designated frequency range and feature a microwave grade resistor that consistently reduces power. Hex flats on the body allow this attenuator to be easily torqued to the mating connector.
Coaxial Inserts
Size 8 coaxial inserts for DIN and D-Sub applications. Available for common flexible coaxial cables.
Combo-D
Positronic Combo-D connectors are a combination of signal and power and are part of the D-sub family. Combo-D connectors are used in military, communications, space, industrial, and medical applications. These connectors are available in various performance levels for the best cost/performance ratio.
ComboStak® and PowerStak® Board-to-Board Connectors
ComboStak® and PowerStak® are compact, hybrid (signal and power), and power board-to-board connectors. ComboStak® combines existing, BergStak® 0.8mm pitch signal pins with 2.00mm pitch power blades. PowerStak® is the power-only version. Both ComboStak® and PowerStak® provide high signal and current density with a wide range of stack heights.
Cool Edge 0.80mm Hybrid Power & Signal Connectors
Cool Edge Hybrid Power and Signal connectors provide a one-piece high speed and high power card-edge package. These versatile solutions address multiple standards like PCIe, SAS, SATA, and offer multiple BTB configurations such as mezzanine, coplanar, and midplane/backplane. Moreover, the connectors are designed as Open Pin Field and are hot-plug capable.
Crossbow™
Crossbow allows designers to take advantage of all the benefits associated with orthogonal mid-plane architectures as the differential pairs on each side of the mid-plane share vias creating a straight pass-through connection. This shared via approach combined with the Crossbow footprint, eliminates most electrical problems associated with the typical backplane via stub.
Cryo-Seal Hermetic Connector Series
The Cryo-Seal Hermetic connector series is designed for extreme low-temperature environments. They are built to retain contact-to-contact sealing in temperatures as low as -319 °F (-195° C).
Temperatures falling below -85 °F (-65 °C) typically leaves one at risk of losing the pin-to-pin environmental seal and/or having cracked elastomeric components leading to electrical shorting.
cStack™
The Amphenol ICC cStack™ high-speed solder-less interconnect solution provides limitless flexibility for board-to-board mezzanine applications and board-to-board stackable and coplanar applications when terminated to a flex circuit.
cStack™ Flex Cables
Amphenol's cStack™ flexible circuit assemblies are designed for applications where flexibility, space, weight, and performance are critical. They are available in standard and custom flex circuit and connector designs. cStack™ Flex is a compression-based interconnect utilizing Amphenol's cStack™ interposer terminated to a multi-layer impedance-controlled flexible circuit in a compact footprint.
Custom Flex Cables
Amphenol's Flex Cable Assemblies provide value-added solutions to challenging interconnect problems where a flexible solution is desirable. Amphenol flex cables can be engineered to use any mezzanine connector in the Amphenol portfolio to meet unique signal integrity, mechanical, power, and environmental requirements.
