Molex MicroBeam connectors and cable assemblies

Delivering low-profile and high-performance connectivity for high-density, near-chip applications, MicroBeam connectors and cable assemblies deliver up to 112Gbps with exceptional signal integrity (SI) and 12 or 16 differential pairs (DPs). The compact design, with a low overall mated height of less than 7.00mm, reduces interference with other components while improving airflow and thermal management.

Features

• Optimizes thermal management
  • The low-profile mated height of less than 7.00mm enables the conductor to sit underneath heat sink components, maximizing airflow to improve cooling
• Ensures stable performance
  • With a robust design featuring a metal cage and cover, the connector can withstand high mechanical forces to help prevent damage and maintain consistent operation
• Simplifies assembly and maintenance operations
  • The easy and intuitive design can be inserted, mated and unmated without tools or specialized training, reducing system downtime and helping eliminate mis-mating errors
• Delivers high data rates and excellent signal integrity
  • Data rates of up to 112Gbps, supported by twinax cable that optimizes SI, enable customers to meet market demands with BiPass cabled connectivity
• Supports high-density architecture
  • The miniaturized design enables placement of several connectors around the chip, offering more high-speed channels

Applications

• Networking
  • Ethernet switches
  • AI hardware
  • High-speed cabling to the panel
