Molex NearStack HD connector cystem 215980, 216000, 221028 series

The NearStack HD connector system is a low-profile, high-density cable solution with a 64Gbps PAM-4 data transfer rate that meets PCIe Gen-6 standards for internal cable applications and helps users support artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning applications.

Features 

• Maximizes real estate in high-density applications
  • With a low-profile connector that optimizes PCB real estate for space-constrained applications, including angled-exit options that reduce connector spacing from 20.50mm to 16.00mm on center
• Enhances signal integrity (SI) with direct-to-contact termination
  • Featuring twinax wires welded directly to the signal contact wafers within the connector, which improves SI and delivers best-in-class crosstalk performance
• Simplifies assembly and makes the connector more durable
  • With direct-to-contact termination that eliminates the need for a paddle card interface
• Improves thermal performance
  • Using small 34AWG twinax cable that allows for better airflow, improving thermal management
• Offers greater design flexibility
  • With 34AWG twinax cable that afford easier cable routing compared to 30AWG
• Enables PCIe Gen-6 performance for AI and machine learning capabilities
  • With data rates of up to 64Gbps PAM-4 that meet PCIe Gen-6 specifications and permit data centers to achieve next-generation performance
