• Why Copper Interconnects are Still Important in the Age of 224G
  To achieve groundbreaking 224Gbps speeds, high-speed copper interconnects play a critical role ensuring reliability, cost-efficiency, and scalability in the most demanding applications. Learn more in our webinar.
• Mirror Mezz Enhanced 224G Board-to-Board Connector
  This expansion to our current family of proven, genderless high-speed mezzanine board-to-board connectors offers the performance necessary for 224G while minimizing the space taken on the PCB. The genderless mating interface and mated height options can help expedite new connector module availability, increasing efficiency while often simplifying the bill of materials (BOM). The use of electrically tuned contacts and an industry-standard ball grid array (BGA) PCB attach improves signal integrity, eases connector assembly and provides significant protection from damage.
• Inception 224G Genderless Backplane and Cable
  The Inception family of genderless backplanes and cables enable superior application flexibility with variable pitch densities, optimal signal integrity and simplified integration. The simplified SMT launch reduces the need for complicated board drill and via processing at the PCB interface. The multiple wire gauge options can be partnered with custom lengths internal and external to the application for optimized channel performance.
• CX2 Dual-Speed 224G Near-ASIC Cabled Connector System
  As data rates increase to 224G, maintaining signal integrity (SI) becomes increasingly crucial. Cabled solutions for the chip-to-chip channel can help meet this challenge by delivering better SI performance when compared with traditional PCB traces. The CX2 Dual-Speed 224G interconnect system uses low-loss twinax cable and an innovative shielding structure, together with a high-density interface that maximizes real estate on the board, to ensure optimal performance for near-ASIC connectivity.
• OSFP 1600 Solutions
  This next-generation upgrade to our current OSFP product family includes SMT, BiPass and external cable solutions. Built for 224 Gbps-PAM4, these robust cables offer superior mechanical durability and excellent shielding to minimize crosstalk and deliver better signal integrity (SI) performance at a higher Nyquist frequency.
  • SMT Connector and Cage: Superior shielding from the mating interface to the SME tails and board ensures 224 Gbps channel operation and lower Bit Error Rate (BER).
  • BiPass: Standardized twinax that combines I/O with near-ASIC and Backplane solutions provide greater design flexibility.
  • Direct Attach (DAC) and Active Electrical Cables (AEC): Multiple cable configurations, optimized wire termination and CMIS support for system troubleshooting tailor solutions to application requirement.
• QSFP 800 & QSFP-DD 1600 Solutions
  Like our OSFP product family, our upgraded QSFP and QSFP-DD products are designed for 224 Gbps-PAM4 and offer excellent shielding to minimize crosstalk and improve performance at a higher Nyquist frequency. The family has been re-engineered to improve mechanical robustness including contact normal force, and encompasses SMT, BiPass and external cable solutions.
  • SMT Connector and Cage: Ensure 224 Gbps channel operation and lower Bit Error Rates (BER) with these durable solutions offering superior shielding.
  • BiPass: Reduce thermal load, lower rack costs and increase design flexibility with our BiPass solutions that utilize standardized twinax combining I/O with near-ASIC and Backplane solutions.
  • Direct Attach (DAC) and Active Electrical Cables (AEC): Build to your specific requirements with our passive, DAC solutions that are ideal for low cost, low latency applications and our retimed, AEC cables that offer superior serviceability at a lower cost compared to optics.
