High-density I/O cables

23 January 2013 Interconnection

Samtec’s new Eye Speed HD I/O cable system features HyperTransport HT 3.1 performance and a space saving design. It is said to be the industry’s densest I/O cable system and is designed for HT networking with easy product configurability and integration.

The cable system is targeted at data storage applications including servers, blade servers, server clusters and embedded systems, and it provides modularity latitude between systems and subsystems.

The Eye Speed HD cable (HDLSP series) boasts 48 signal pairs in a 28 x 14 mm panel opening. The system is designed to be stacked and mated with a right angle PCB connector and cage (HDI6 and HDC series). With a 0,635 mm pitch design, this system fits the full height of a PCIe card (6x 8-bit links) to support 3D-Torus/Mesh HT NICs and switches.

The cable is available in 1 m and 2 m lengths of #32 AWG low skew pair cable with performance up to 6,44 GHz and 2,56 GHz, respectively (at 7 dB insertion loss).

The cable system provides enhanced signal integrity and routing with 100 Ω differential pair signalling for in-system and system-wide applications. Each signal pair is individually shielded with a smooth insertion loss profile.

Eye Speed HD cable is also equipped with a rugged latching system for heavy-duty handling.
