Molex NextStream Connector Systems
Molex NextStream Connector Systems offer data rates of up to 64Gbps PAM-4 and use PCIe Generation 6 technology. These connectors are upgradable to PCIe Generation 7 and backward compatible with PCIe Generation 4 and 5 and the SAS-4 standard. The connector system allows easier and more reliable operation with its Poke-Yoke design, while its anti-slant and anti-reverse features reduce failure rates. Molex NextStream Connector Systems finds applications in home appliances, networking, and server systems.
