Infiniband Connector Supports 120 Gb/s Bandwidth

Supporting the latest high-speed InfiniBand CXP 12x QDR standard and IEEE 100 Gb/s Ethernet specification, the company’s enhanced-footprint CXP pluggable connector and cage in a one-piece, press-fit assembly supports 12 channels at 10 Gb/s data rates for a total bandwidth of 120 Gb/s. The CXP assembly mitigates EMI leakage at the bezel opening and at the cage-to-plug interface. Other features include an enhanced, dual-sourced footprint that increases space between the vias, thereby reducing cross-talk and improving electrical performance. Target apps include network switches, routers, storage devices, direct attached storage, storage attached networks, network attached storage, controller cards, and servers.
