Avnet's 3M Twinaxial PCIe Extender Assemblies for PCIe 4.0 applications are a series of cable assemblies that include X8 and X16 connectors utilizing 3M low-loss twinaxial cables of 85 ohms, 31 AWG. These assemblies are ideal for PCIe applications. With their extremely small bend radius and thin ribbon construction, these innovative cable products are easy to route in even the densest server or rack configurations. They are designed for scalability and tight bends without compromising signal integrity performance.
Amphenol's PCIe DirectAttached cable adapter solutions support PCIe 5.0 data rates up to 32 Gb/s. Replacing high-speed PCIe traces on multilayer motherboards directly with high-speed cables reduces signal loss. A PCIe direct-attach CEM connector on one end of the cable allows the flexibility to make different connections on the other end of the cable to accommodate different PCB form factors such as MCIO, Multi-trak, SlimSAS, EDSFF, OCP NIC 3.0, Gen Z, or backplane connectors. Ideal for high-speed computing data center server systems, GPU cards, adapter cards, and gas pedal cards, it saves cost and space by using cables to replace legacy PCIe adapter cards, eliminating the need for motherboard PCBs and adapter PCBs. It also provides shorter manufacturing lead times because the adapter PCBA can be performed simultaneously with the cable soldering process.
Nicomatic offers customized solutions for radar and communication systems. The harness is compatible with many cables and PCBs. It consists of Nicomatic connector solutions and coaxial cables because of their HF performance and adaptability. The solution can connect RF connectors such as SMA, MMCX and MCX up to 6 GHz using different types of cabling including RG 178, RG 316, RG 179 and RG 174 LMR.
Amphenol LTW's M12 X-Code connectors and cable assemblies are compliant with Cat6A and IEC 61076-2-109 standards. They are designed to increase data rates to 10 Gb/s. The compact design consists of four shielded pairs covered with braided shields. Available in push-pull and threaded mating options, they are ideal for preventing interference and ensuring the reliability of high-speed data transmission.
Samtec's AcceleRate® HP cable system offers the perfect combination of density and performance. 0.635 mm pitch board connectors (APF6) use Samtec's popular AcceleRate contacts with a staggered row spacing of 2.2 mm x 2.4 mm, which provides plenty of cabling paths for optimized differential pair alignments. It is the industry's highest density 112 Gb/s PAM4 wire-to-board system with 32 to 72 differential pairs and is available in 4-row or 6-row designs. The cable assembly (ARP6) uses Samtec's optimized direct-connect technology for impedance control and reduced loss through Eye Speed® ultra-low skew twin-core cables. It is compatible with PCIe 6.0/CXL 3.1 and 100 GbE data rates. The cable solution can be equipped with a rugged extruded latch for quick disconnect or a locking tab for maximum density systems (this option requires a removal tool).
Amphenol SV Microwave offers a full line of fixed-length high-frequency cable assemblies with SMA, 2.92mm, 2.4mm, 1.85mm, SMP and SMPM connectors on flexible Ø.047 and Ø.085 cable types. These high speed RF cable assemblies have low tin crawling capability and are highly flexible allowing tight bends behind the cable ferrule.
TYU's new high-speed cable connector solution follows the PCIe 5.0 and future PCIe 6.0 specification requirements for data centers, servers and storage units. In this design, wires are soldered directly to the signal contacts, eliminating the need for paddle cards in the cable connector. Paddle cards are costly and often difficult to assemble during manufacturing. The direct wire-to-contact soldering method improves manufacturing efficiency and stability. This new process also allows for more consistent signal integrity results for every cable connector produced. The solution is compatible with the OCP standard SFF-TA-1016, giving users flexibility in board connector selection.
Fischer Connectors' new USB 3.2 Gen 2 interconnect solution meets the growing demand for the USB 3.0+ protocol in a variety of medical, defense and security, instrumentation, industrial and IoT applications. Uses include cameras for drones or orthopedic surgery as well as endoscopic equipment for radioactively contaminated areas, assembly lines and outdoor inspection systems. The new high-speed connector and cable solution enables 10 Gb/s data transfer with excellent signal integrity. The high-density, IP68-sealed Fischer MiniMax solutions will be released in 2023 and are ideally suited for applications where SWaP (size, weight and power) is critical. With nine Ø 12.9 mm (plug diameter) pins, they provide up to 8 A of additional power contacts and are half the size of some competitors' connectors with similar speeds but no power supply. By 2024, design engineers will have even more choices thanks to the new ultra-fast solutions developed in the versatile Fischer Core series (9 pins, Ø 13 mm) and in the ultra-rugged Fischer UltiMate series (9 pins, Ø 18.5 mm), both of which feature IP68/IP69 sealing (airtight for the UltiMate) and 10,000 pins. Both have IP68/IP69 sealing (airtight for the UltiMate) and 10,000 insertions/removals (5,000 for the MiniMax). Overmolded cable assembly options are available to increase durability and strength, improve reliability and simplify installation.
