Amphenol FCI Cool Express Link® EDSFF Gen 5/6 Cable Connectors

Amphenol FCI Cool Express Link® EDSFF Gen 5/6 Cable Connectors support low latency, high bandwidth, and high throughput data transmission for both existing and next-generation storage and CXL 3.1 applications. These cable connectors are designed for use in high-performance computing applications in artificial intelligence and machine learning that require advanced enterprise storage. Durable and stable, the diecast cage design is robust and orthogonal, and the hybrid architecture streamlines midplane design, enabling efficient transmission of high-speed signals to the host side. Additional features include an easy locking and latching design that further enhances usability. Amphenol FCI Cool Express Link Connectors can be expanded to E3 4C to accommodate future applications.
