Fully shielded, EMI protected I/O cable system using proven ExaMAX® technology with two reliable points of contact for 64 Gbps PAM4 (32 Gbps NRZ) performance in a cable-to-panel configuration.
Samtec's ExaMAX® I/O external cable and cage system features EMI shielding to help limit signal degradation and optimize performance, supporting 64 Gbps PAM4 (32 Gbps NRZ) applications. The high-density design features up to 72 staggered differential pairs on individual signal wafers, which increases isolation and significantly reduces crosstalk. For additional signaling, one sideband per column is included. Eye Speed® ultra low skew cable technology improves bandwidth and extends signal reach.
