High Speed Connectors

High Speed Connectors utilize our High Speed Contacts in a wide variety of connector styles. D38999 Series III connectors are often used to house all of our High Speed Contacts including the Oval Contact System (OCS), which achieves high speed data transmission up to 10 Gbps per pair. Many of our Rectangular Connectors also have options for High Speed Contacts. Our newest High Speed Connector Series is the Centaur Series, which is housed in a D38999 Series III connector housing and can support many protocols like USB 3.0, 10G Ethernet, 25G Ethernet, 40G Ethernet, 100G Ethernet, SATA, eSATA, Micro-SATA, DVI, HDMI, and more. Centaur Cable Assemblies are also available.
