Amphenol Commercial ExtremePort Z-Link Connectors
Amphenol Commercial ExtremePort Z-Link Connectors feature a 0.60mm pitch, vertical and right-angle configurations, and high-speed capability. These connectors have a slim form factor design and transmit high-speed signals up to 56Gb/s PAM4, allowing for greater signal path lengths while maintaining SI performance. ExtremePort Z-link connectors are compliant with Gen-Z and OCP NIC specifications and SFF-TA-1002 standards.
Amphenol ExtremePort Z-Link Connectors support both cable and card edge applications, including radio units, commercial systems, high-end computing systems, and more. ExtremePort Z-Link not only provides an SI performance-ready signal transmission but also a way of system design that is efficient, highly modular, scalable, and extremely easy to repair.
