New enhanced footprint and standard versions are the fastest, highest-density I/O connectors on the market with rates up to 120 Gbps of pluggable data over 12 lanes in one assembly
LISLE, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE )--Molex Incorporated today announced its newest additions to the iPass+™ product family. The iPass+ High-Speed Channel (HSC) CXP copper and optical system offers connectors and cables that achieve rates of up to 120 Gbps of pluggable data over 12 lanes in one assembly. The first-to-market technology will be on display in Molex booth 501 at DesignCon 2011, February 1 and 2, Santa Clara, CA. This dual paddle-card system was adopted as the InfiniBand* CXP 12x QDR standard and by IEEE 802.3ba as the 100G Ethernet standard, providing 10 lanes of 10 Gbps data rates.
Molex has leveraged the latest high data-rate capable wafer technology and compliant-pin tails to develop two integrated connector offerings for the growing server-storage market:
“Not only does the iPass+ HSC CXP deliver one of the highest data-rate capable I/Os on the market today, but it provides the most effective utilization of space,” said Larry Schultz, global product manager, Molex. “This allows our customers, the server and switch manufacturers, to provide twice as many high data-rate capable channels as their current products and deliver a superior solution to the end-user.”
