Molex NearStack 100-Ohm Connectors and Cable Assemblies

Molex NearStack 100-Ohm Connectors and Cable Assemblies are dense, low-profile, near-ASIC cabled solutions for jumper-type and I/O BiPass connections up to 56 Gbps PAM-4. These connectors and cable assemblies allow for speed upgrades in data centers and telecommunication applications where space is restricted. The connectors operate over a temperature range from -40°C to +85°C and a maximum current rating of 0.25A per pair. These connectors and cable assemblies feature a double-ground structure between Differential Pairs (DPs) and direct-to-contact weld termination, reducing insertion loss for high-speed applications.
