Molex Mirror Mezz connectors
Molex announces Mirror Mezz connectors

Mirror Mezz connectors and Open Compute Project (OCP)-standard Mirror Mezz Pro and Mirror Mezz Enhanced connectors are stackable, hermaphroditic mezzanine connectors that deliver superior signal integrity performance and data speeds up to 224Gbps to address ever-increasing data transmission requirements for telecommunications, networking and other high-density applications.
Features
- 224Gbps data rates: With the emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) and a rapid increase in data transmission speeds, telecommunications and networking requirements are growing. Mirror Mezz connectors offer up to 224Gbps data rates for next-generation performance.
- Density and compactness: Mirror Mezz connectors offer a dense pin field with up to 270 differential pairs in a compact, low-profile hermaphroditic design that offers cost savings by reducing real estate requirements and simplifying both inventory complexity and installation processes.
- Approved as an Open Compute Project (OCP) standard: The OCP was founded to create commodity hardware that supports companies as they transition their infrastructure to meet today’s connectivity demands. Thanks to its high data rates, high density and innovative hermaphroditic design, the Mirror Mezz 15x11 connector is an OCP standard board-to-board solution for accelerator cards.
