INPUT/OUTPUT CONNECTORS / CABLE ASSEMBLIES
EYEMAX^® 4X HIGH-SPEED SERIAL I/O LINKS
for Infiniband^®, 10G Fibre Channel, 10G Base-CX4 Ethernet (IEEE 802.3ak), and SFF-8470 Multilane SATA/SAS
DESCRIPTION
The EyeMax^® 4X cable assembly, right-angle PCB
receptacle, and plug kit offering from FCI enables
high-speed, serial copper links for industry-stan-
dard applications. This copper solution offers a
low cost alternative to fiber optics for linking
servers, storage and other data networking or
communication devices. The EyeMax^® link
solution is designed to provide a continuous
flow of serial data and eliminate data traffic
congestion, which can occur among hardware
devices that use a parallel bus structure.
FCI’s EyeMax^® cable assembly technology
enables high-speed data transfers that deliver
aggregate bandwidth capability from a single
cable assembly that ranges from 10 Gb/s to
20 Gb/s depending on the data transfer rate
and the required cable length. In addition, the
EyeMax^® cable technology offers <4% cross-talk
performance, greater bandwidth, and exceptional
overall electrical performance to support
switched fabric link capabilities and scalability
within and between system hardware applications.
The mating interface used in EyeMax^® cable and
connector products has been selected as the
external I/O copper link for the following industry
standards: Infiniband^®, 10G Fibre Channel, 10G
Base-CX4 Ethernet, and SFF-8470 for Serial ATA
(SATA) or Serial-Attached SCSI (SAS).
