A new series of high-speed connectors is capable of handling datarates up to 5Gbit/s while delivering improved mechanical and electrical performance.

A new series of high-speed connectors is capable of handling datarates up to 5Gbit/s while delivering improved mechanical and electrical performance Ideal for use in wide bandwidth applications, including high-end supercomputers, the new assemblies support Infiniband Trade Association 4x and 12x technology specifications

The new DG1 series feature Infiniband-compliant 4x and 12x receptacles and cable assemblies.

Differential impedance is down to just 100ohm, and crosstalk is less than 2% (at 100ps edge).

Jitter has also been reduced to less than 100ps and a significant improvement in EMI performance is achieved through the use of a hexagon-shaped inner wall that minimises the gap between wall and cable.

The new connectors from JAE feature improved plug contact surfaces and a paddle card design, which also contribute to better impedance matching and reduced crosstalk.

A one-piece panel-locking clip provides a 360-degree stable interface, providing easy and secure panel installation as well as better EMI performance.

JAE's DG1 connectors feature a unique two-step locking system with audible, tactile and visual positive mating indicators for simplified operation in the field.

Additionally, the new connector receptacles have large surface areas for automated pick and place, while a bridged front end prevents contact pins from deforming or bending.
