Flexible pinout concept (continuous Ground-Signal-Signal-Ground) optimized for high-speed applications:
• Maximizes the number of high-speed lanes within the lengths provided
• Four-lane and eight-lane sizes available per industry standard

Small form factor: 5.00 H by 23.00 W by 9.00mm D and a 12.00mm mated connector-to-cable assembly height for R/A cable exit:
• Enables high speeds and high bandwidth in a small form factor
• Services mobile devices through enterprise applications

Versatile metal shell housing:
• Provides an internal or external solution, with a low mated height that fits within the maximum component height of PCIe add-in cards
• Cable-side passive or active latching options available

Mezzanine and parallel solutions available:
• Provides industry-leading application flexibility across almost any arrangement of boards within a system

PCB in 4x cable supports 38 or 42 circuits; 80 or 76 circuits
Keeps same footprint to enable running change:
• Provides additional pin assignment flexibility for side bands
• Six-side bands are now configurable

Multi-protocol solution that adheres to a variety of industry standards:
• Designed into: T10/Serial Attached SCSI Mini-Link (12 Gbps SAS-G3) roadmap to SAS-G4; SFF Committee/SFF-8611; Free Cable/SFF-8612 Fixed Connector/Universal Pinout/SFF-9400; PCIe OCuLink Gen 3 8 GT/s and Gen 4 16 GT/s

Staggered, reliable and constant dual-row contact configuration:
• Allows for hot pluggability: the ability to add components without having to shut down the system
• Provides optimal routing for high-speed trace connections while minimizing the need for PCB real estate

Vertical and right-angle mounting options:
• Surface-mount and intrusive reflow options available
• Through-hole and outrigger designs offer optimal robustness

Data rates of 25 Gbps for 80-circuit version; 16 Gbps for 42-circuit version:
• Meets today’s data transfer needs with increased port density and speed in smaller packaging
