Latest Interconnect Solutions 

Interconnect

We made it flexible with mix & match, alternative solutions and lead time as short as 3+ weeks

We are proud to offer innovative interconnect solutions supporting the industry’s advanced communication including PCIe Gen4/Gen5/Gen6 and Ethernet up to 800Gbps in both the industry’s standard and proprietary high density form factors.

PCIe 32GT/S Challenge & Riser Cable Advantage

Re-timer may be required when the channel loss greater than 30dB, this will add:

1. Latency at 100ms level
2. Cost
3. Design complexity and supply chain limitations

Riser Cable solution:

• Eliminate the re-timer resulted latency & design complexity
• Flexible routing solutions
• Cost effective (targeting $0.05/Gbps)

Amphenol Multi-Platform Interface Cables

Introducing our new Amphenol Multi-Platform Interface Cables, which have high performance interconnect activities with:

  • OcuLink x4 42P (SFF-8611)
  • OcuLink x8 80P (SFF-8611)
  • SlimSAS 8i 74P (SFF-8654)
  • SlimSAS 4i 38P (SFF-8654)
  • PCIe 68P (SFF-8639)
  • HD MiniSAS 36P (SFF-8643)
  • MiniSAS 68P (SFF-8087)
  • MiniSAS 36P (SFF-8087)

CUSTOMIZATION POSSIBILITIES

The internal cable can be with the fittest length, using the low profile connector for space-saving, the angled connector (exit left, exit right, up, or down angle) for perfect orientation, and bridged with thinner and slimmer wire materials in  higher gauge (i.e. 30AWG, 32AWG). Contact us for more details.


Easy Routing with Multi-Platform Interface Cables within Servers, Storage and Compact Environments

All Pactech & Amphenol made connectors MiniLink 4i, SlimSAS 4i, 8i, SAS, SATA with hi-speed 24G / 12G / 6G wire materials are conformed to RoHS with lifetime warranty.

In general, all SAS 4.0 including SFF-8654, PCIe Gen3/Gen4/Gen5/Gen6, OCuLink Slimline cables have been well implemented. Slimline L25.3*W15.15*H8.54 (mm) connectors were made, sized less than OCuLink L30.5*W17.0*H7.25 (mm) except the mating height. Slimline wire gauge ranges from 34 to 28 AWG, which can achieve longer than 1 meter length, with impedance 85 ohm and 100 ohm solutions.

What makes it work for all environments and tight spacing is the state-of-art design & wrapping skill of round and flat routing.
