"Molex's iPass+ HD technology will drive next-generation SAS solutions by providing increased bandwidth and port density," said Jay Neer, advanced technical market manager, industry standards, Molex Inc. "We designed the new system to use less beach front real estate while doubling data rates."

The iPass+ HD external input/output (I/O) connector includes eight sideband signals per 4x port. These additional signals enable active copper and optical cables, as well as active pluggable modules for extended-length applications in data centers.

"This is a significant step as server manufacturers are transitioning their enclosures to the smaller form-factor card," said Neer.

The unitary press-fit connector and cage assembly provides one-step placement to the host board and is offered in both single and stacked dual-port configurations. Molex CXP 12X direct attach copper cables are designed to accommodate single, ganged or stacked connector configurations in extremely high-density requirements. CXP passive copper cables are available in a variety of lengths.

Further, Molex is developing optical CXP solutions with AOC (active optical cables) pluggable optical module cable assemblies and loopbacks. Cabling options for CXP optical products include 24-fiber round OFNP rated jackets in 3.8 and 5.4mm diameters filling both shorter rack-to-rack and longer riser cabling requirements. The round cable construction offers superior fiber management over traditional flat cables for connecting CXP ports. CXP optical cable assemblies for pluggable transceiver applications utilize 24 fiber (12 transmit and 12 receive) high bandwidth OM3 cable using industry-standard MTP/MPO connectors. This design meets the InfiniBand bandwidth requirements for CXP modules for lengths up to 300m (984.25'). Products also include MTP/MPO-to-LC cable assemblies for connections to Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) or LC patch panels. MPO CXP Loopbacks feature a compact housing that loops optical TX to RX ports for testing, burn-in and field troubleshooting.

Molex's iPass+ HSC CXP system is the latest addition to the existing iPass(TM) product family. The iPass Interconnect System offers connectors and cables that enable flexible-speed compatibility for applications ranging from 1 to 10 Gbps and is an ideal solution for the growing high-performance computing and data center markets.
