SCA2 (Single Connector Attachment)

Amphenol’s SCA2 is a type of connector used for internal SCSI cabling systems. “Hot-swapping” allows seamless replacement of failed RAID drives, which greatly simplifi es system maintenance procedures. SCA2 features a single plug confi guration carrying signal, power, and jumpers together.

Smart Card Connector

Smart Card Connectors are integral components of a smart card reader or terminal, and provide electrical contact to the smart card’s pads. The connector is not a standalone peripheral device. An additional interface circuit is necessary to be able to read and write to the smart card whether a smart card is a memory only or a microprocessor card.

USB with Positive Locking: LUSB Series

Amphenol’s USB, Series A with a unique latching mechanism has been developed to address major concerns of unintentional interruption of data transmission. This patented, unique latching mechanism must be intentionally raised in order to remove the plug. An accidental pull on the cable up to 22 lbs force will not separate the connectors.

CX4 / CX4 Active

Amphenol’s CX4 high-speed active assemblies are ultra-high-performance, cost-effective I/O solutions for gigabit speed applications in data and switched fabric I/O, switches, routers, and computer clusters. Amphenol’s assemblies exceed CX4 standard requirements and have been qualifi ed to perform at 5Gb or Double Data Rate (DDR) Infi niband and 10GBASE-CX4. Our active assemblies are cost-effective and provide lower EMI when compared to media converters.

DisplayPort Connectors

Amphenol now creates DisplayPort connectors and cable assemblies. DisplayPort is a new digital display interface standard put forth by the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA). It is a next generation digital interface that is designed to replace LVDS, DVI, and eventually VGA. It covers provisions for high-defi nition digital audio-video and graphics streaming via the interface through the same cable.

EXD Skewclear Cable

Amphenol’s EXD (EXtended Distance) cable has been developed to improve basic attenuation in high-data-rate twinaxial copper cables and totally eliminate high-frequency resonances (suckouts) that can severely affect harmonic signal content in these systems. Our EXD cable offers a 10%-20% attenuation improvement, and resonance elimination up to 20GHz. Patent pending.

InfiniBand (4X & 12x)

Amphenol’s Infi niband (4x & 12x) high-speed assemblies are an ultra-high-performance, cost- effective solution for gigabit-speed applications in data and switched fabric I/O, switches, routers, data storage arrays, and computer clusters. Available in 4 or 12 channels, Amphenol’s high-speed assemblies meet and exceed Infi niband standards and requirements and have been tested to work at Double Data Rate (DDR).

Mini SAS

Amphenol offers a full range of mini-SAS interconnect systems for both connector and cable assemblies. Our offering includes conversion cables to legacy SFF-8484 4x SAS interfaces and break-out cables to individual SATA or SAS drives. The cable assemblies provide 100 ohm differential impedance with tight skew control and low crosstalk. Multiple cable lengths are offered standard, as well as customized lengths upon request.

QSFP Cable Assemblies

Amphenol’s QSFP copper cable assemblies are a high-performance, cost-effective interconnect solution supporting Ethernet, Fibre Channel, Infi niband, SAS, and SONET/SDH applications. QSFP copper modules provide a high-density, high-bandwidth solution at very low cost and reduced power budget. Amphenol’s high-speed cable assemblies meet and exceed industry standards for performance and reliability. INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
