XCede I/O
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.
XCede Plus Backplane Connector
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.
XCede® Backplane Connector
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
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®.
XCede® HD2
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.
XCede® HD Plus
The XCede® HD Plus backplane connector achieves high performance (up to 28+ 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 Plus connector meets the high-density needs of today's challenging architectures.
XCede® Power Connectors
XCede® connector platform is designed to provide headroom for high-speed, serial data rates demanded by data centers and service provider networks. The use of polymers in a resonance-damping shield enables low crosstalk across a wide frequency range. The XCede® backplane header system provides the ruggedness and long-term reliability required by today's systems.
XFP
XFP is a 30pos 0.8mm pitch SMT receptacle designed to support 10 Gigabit Fibre Channel and Gigabit Ethernet with the ability to extend performance to 14 Gbps. It is constructed from a metal frame and the cage assembly is to be bezel-mounted to an I/O panel with compliant pins for pressing onto the host PCB. Its single row cage configuration requires less space & is cost-optimized.
XFP 10G Transceivers
XFP 10G optical transceivers include SR, LR, ER, ZR and support Duplex, BiDi, CWDM, and DWDM solutions. They adopt an LC interface and are compatible with IEEE802.3ae, XFP MSA, and other standards. XFP 10G optical transceivers have the characteristics of low power consumption, small size, and high speed. They are most commonly used in Transmission, Storage Area Networks, and other environments.
