INTERNAL CABLED INTERCONNECT SOLUTIONS Connectors and Cable Assemblies Due to the latest high speed demands in networking equipment, TE Connectivity (TE) has developed one of the most flexible and highest performing internal cabled and card edge interconnect portfolios in the market. Our extensive portfolio consists of Sliver products (including versions for SFF-TA-1002), SlimSAS products, SlimSAS Low Profile (LP) products and Mini Cool Edge IO (MCIO) products. These connectors and cable assemblies can be used across many applications, data rates and protocols including PCI Express, SAS and Ethernet. This new 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. Markets Applications Internal Cabled Solutions Data Center & Networking Equipment Servers Chip to Chip Chip to I/O Switches Chip to Backplane Routers Board to Board High Performance Computing (HPC) PCB Card Edge (BTB) Solutions Storage Devices Supports Ethernet, PCIe, SAS, SATA, Wireless Base Stations and Radios InfiniBand and Other Custom Protocols DATA AND DEVICES / INTERNAL CABLED INTERCONNECT SOLUTIONS PAGE 1TE Sliver Interconnects Ultimate flexibility in applications, data rates and protocols Vertical and right angle connector and cable solutions provide a flexible solution set in addition to allowing for both cabled and card edge interconnect designs. With a flexible pinout arrangement, multiple mounting and mating options and the support of present and future data rate protocols, the Sliver interconnect solution provides a variety of configuration options to address your application needs. Free up design space The 0.6mm contact pitch is up to 30% denser than most existing solutions, allowing you to fit more inside the box. Reliable connections The Sliver interconnect solution provides a robust connector housing design while an active latch provides additional connection security for data critical applications. Lower design costs Sliver connector and cable assemblies can lower overall costs by eliminating the need for re-timers and more costly lower loss PCB materials.
