Have you ever sucked your stomach in and held your breath to squeeze between people, or is that just me? Well, if you’re looking at a system wishing you could do the same with your high-speed signals or cables, I’m here to grant that wish. At just 7.6mm wide and supporting data rates up to 64Gbps PAM4, Samtec AcceleRate Slim Body direct attach cable assemblies are like engineering magic. They’re offered with 8, 16, or 24 differentials pairs in a 2-row a 0.635mm pitch connector and 34AWG cables, with mixed signal options that add single-ended signals for additional flexibility. Cable options include 92Ω and 100Ω differential pair and 50Ω coax single-ended types. The ultra-compact connector and narrow cable utilize Samtec Flyover Technology, routing signals above the PCB to simplify layout and extend signal reach.
