Connector Platform Designed to Support 20+ Gbps Performance

(Product News, 12 Feb 2007)

Amphenol TCS (ATCS) has announced a breakthrough in interconnect performance with the introduction of its XCede connector platform. The XCede connector is designed to enable future data rate requirements for datacom, telecom, storage and wireless equipment, meeting and exceeding standards set for Ethernet, SONET/SDH, PCIe, Fibre Channel and Infiniband among others, while employing a highly reliable press-fit attachment. A 3D shield technology enables low crosstalk and incorporates advanced materials to prevent high frequency resonances. Design features within the connector remove skew within any differential pair simplifying the board layout process. The connector family is now available at approximately $0.10 to $0.16 per mated signal line in full production volumes.
