Amphenol's half-century of interconnect manufacturing expertise shines through with each and every product in its growing catalog of connectors and cages according to Nick Blas, Product Marketing Manager for Amphenol Cables on Demand. "Amphenol is one of the few interconnect manufacturers qualified to engineer a comprehensive interconnect system; in which each individualized component is optimized to maintain signal integrity and overall product intermateability – even under the strain of extreme high-bandwidth applications". This systemic engineering approach permits Amphenol to push the performance envelope and produce products better suited for today’s evolving high-speed interface standards.
The first QDR (Quad Data Rate) interconnect platform recently introduced via Cables on Demand consists of Amphenol’s impressive new series of ExpressPort™ QSFP+ Connectors and QSFP+ Cages. QSFP+ Connectors and QSFP+ Cages from Amphenol High Speed Interconnects combine to form a complete QSFP+ interconnect system. Consisting of a press-fit cage assembly and an accompanying 38-position 0.8 mm pitch connector, Amphenol's QSFP+ interconnect platform meets or exceeds the latest QSFP transceiver specifications per SFF-8436. Prices start at only $12.83 for a 1x1 Single Port QSFP+ Cage (P/N: U90-H1R1-101A).

The 40-Gigabit Ethernet optimized interconnect system is capable of supporting data rates beyond 12.0 Gbps per channel (4 channels) and is intended for external connections (38-position connector). Optical-ready cage architecture features integrated polycarbonate square light pipes with 2.6mm x 2.6mm outlets.
The second QDR (Quad Data Rate) interconnect platform recently introduced via Cables on Demand includes Amphenol’s revolutionary new Mini-SAS HD Connector & Cage Combo. Mini-SAS HD (High-Density) Connectors and Cages from Amphenol High Speed Interconnects represent the next generation interconnect solution for storage OEM's seeking SAS 3.0 capabilities. The Mini-SAS HD interconnect system is comprised of a 36-position, 2-row, press-fit connector and stamped and formed cage assembly as one unit [connector/cage combo] complying with the latest SFF-8644 specifications. Prices start at only $13.54 for a 1x1 Single Port Mini-SAS HD Cage & Connector Combo (P/N: U92-A110-1001-10).
In the case of new high-density networked data storage devices, Amphenol's innovative U92 Series (U92-A410-1001-1) Mini-SAS High Density (HD) Four Port 1x4 Cage & Connector Combo represents the next generation SAS system, with 4x and 16x cable plugging options to provide faster data transmission and more bandwidth for end users. The Mini-SAS HD connector system has a two-row, right-angle connector operating at 12.0 Gbps per channel. Each connector handles 4 lanes of data for up to 48.0 Gbps of total data throughput.
