Description:
Centaur ExaMAX® VS I/O system offers cable assemblies and I/O connector solutions for both internal and external applications. Centaur ExaMAX® I/O products can deliver high speed performance of 25 Gb/s per channel with a path to 40 Gb/s and higher. The Centaur ExaMAX® I/O system delivers superior linear board signal density and meets the performance requirements of the OIF-CEI25G-LR industry standard.
The internal I/O system is offered in both cabled backplane and point to-point internal cables that feature positive latching and integrated guidance to ensure a robust interconnection. The internal system is designed as a direct replacement for a vertical header connector on a backplane and/or midplane using hard metric design guidelines. Flyover applications can be designed to attach to QSFP, SlimSAS, Slim Cool Edge andother connectors for customer-specific applications.
The external cable system features robust metal die castings in various exit configurations coupled with a braided shield and EMI gasket system to assure reliable EMI performance. Jackscrew mechanical mounting provides robust and flexible strain relief solutions.
