High Speed Connectors

Amphenol has developed SlimSAS™ low profile connector which is used in the application of UPI1.0, 11.2GT/s, 24Gb/s SAS signal, or 16GT/s PCIe® signal. With 0.60mm contact pitch, Low Profile (LP) SlimSAS™ solutions are smaller than mainstream connectors in current market to save space in end devices. LP SlimSAS™ was also called SlimSAS™ LP.

TVµCom-10Gb+ combines 10 Gb/s Ethernet speed of the classic µCom-10Gb+ with the ruggedness of 38999 Series III shell. TVµCom-10Gb+ exceeds 10Gb/s according to the IEEE 802.3an-2006, 10GBase-T standard, and the 38999 series III size 11 shell provides environmental resistance similar to MIL-DTL-38999 Series III.

Amphenol's UltraPort™ QSFP+ interconnect system comprises a 38-position, 0.8mm pitch connector built for use in high-speed serial applications. Each port offers 4 channels to increase port density which allows more board real estate and cost-optimized solutions. The UltraPort™ QSFP+ connector supports next-generation 100G+ applications and transmits up to 28 Gb/s per channel.

Amphenol's UltraPort™ SFP+ interconnect system comprises of a 20-position hot-swappable I/O connector enclosed in a metal cage mounted to a host PCB. It supports 28Gb/s applications with backward compatibility for next-generation Ethernet and Fibre Channel applications. UltraPort™ SFP+ connector shares the same unique mating interface and EMI cage dimensions as the SFP+ form factor.

DESIGNED TO ACHIEVE 56G DATA RATE REQUIREMENTS X2's upgraded platform maintains backward mating interface compatibility with existing XCede® products while offering new backplane configurations. Mid-plane-based orthogonal solutions are available for 6-Pair along with the others, supporting both 85Ω and 100Ω to meet a wide variety of application needs, including Ethernet and PCI.

The XCede® I/O interconnect system is comprised of a 32-position, variable pitch connector built for use in high-speed serial applications. Each port offers 4 channels to increase port density which contributes to more board real estate and immense cost savings. The XCede® I/O connector supports next-generation 100G+ applications and transmits up to 25 Gbps/serial-lane.

DESIGNED TO ACHIEVE 32G DATA RATE REQUIREMENTS XCede Plus leverages the same core technologies as XCede with improved signal integrity performance while maintaining backward mating interface compatibility with existing XCede products.

ENABLING FUTURE DATA RATES While maintaining the same mating interfaces, this connector design provides designers with readily available 85Ω and 100Ω solutions to meet a wide variety of application needs, including Ethernet and PCI.

XCede® HD backplane connector achieves high performance (up to 20 Gb/s) in a Hard Metric form factor. Offering a linear density of up to 84 differential pairs per inch (33 differential pairs per centimeter), the XCede® HD connector meets the requirements of high-density architectures with a 35% increase in density as compared to standard XCede®.

DESIGNED TO ACHIEVE 56G DATA RATE REQUIREMENTS WITH HIGHER DENSITY While maintaining the same mating interfaces with XCede® HD and XCede® HD Plus, this connector provides developers with a readily available robust solution for tighter card pitches and chassis designs where space requirements and density are critical.
