Cabled Interconnect Solutions for High Speed Data
TE Connectivity's (TE's) internal cabled interconnects can provide a solution to data rate increase challenges. They are flexible, robust and provide optimal signal integrity while also saving space inside the application. This new connectivity technology simplifies design and helps lower overall costs by eliminating the need for re-timers and more costly lower-loss PCB materials while reaching speeds up to 56 Gbps with the use of TE high speed cable. TE’s expanded portfolio of internal cabled interconnects now includes SlimSAS, SlimSAS Low Profile (LP), Mini Cool Edge IO (MCIO) connectors and cable assemblies for SAS and PCIe Gen 4/Gen 5 server and storage applications.
