25th annual Supercomputing 2013 (SC13): Molex Incorporated announced leading edge technologies for high-speed, high-density applications.
Here, we talk about optimal signal speed, design flexibility and
scalability to propel next-generation system architectures.
Therefore, at the 25th annual Supercomputing 2013 (SC13)
international conference, November 18-21, Colorado Convention Center, Denver,
CO, the Molex SC13 exhibition booth 1141 will feature the latest high
performance I/O
solutions, including: - iPass+™ HD Interconnect System Driving next-generation SAS data rates, port densities, low-power optical consumption and long reaches up to 100m for data center solutions, the Molex iPass+ HD interconnect system improves performance and density for high-performance computing (HPC) applications. The iPass+ HD system meets the new SAS-3 speed and density requirements (48 Gbps over four lanes) and was chosen to be the SAS-3 connector standard.
- iPass+™ HD SAS 3.0 Active Optical Cables (AOC) Designed for next-generation SAS-3 data rates, long reaches up to 100m and high port density, the Molex iPass+ HD AOC significantly extends connection distances using industry-standard iPass+ HD ports. The iPass+ HD AOC will also function with SAS-2.1 (optically enabled) ports.
- iPass+™ Vertical zHD Connectors Enhanced iPass+ zHD connectors are designed to meet next-generation SAS-4 data rates up through 96 Gbps (4 x 24). The soon-to-be-released iPass+ zHD connectors will be backward compatible to all current miniSAS HD cable assemblies.
- zQSFP+™ Interconnect Solution Supporting next-generation 100 Gbps Ethernet and 100 Gbps InfiniBand Enhanced Data Rate (EDR) applications, the zQSFP+ interconnect solution transmits up to 25 Gbps per-serial-lane data rates with excellent signal integrity, electromagnetic interference protection and thermal cooling.
- Molex 1-by-n EMI cages and the 2-by-n connectors are designed to accept advanced heat-sink systems that provide a high level of heat dissipation for next-generation system-power levels. The cage spring-finger design also provides optimal EMI grounding.
- zQSFP+™ 100 Gbps 2km Long-Reach Silicon Photonics Active Optical Cable Pigtails Singlemode, long-reach silicon photonics AOCs will transmit up to 2km with significantly lower power consumption and cost than other long reach optical solutions. Molex AOC pigtails allow for connections to singlemode structured cabling up to 2km, and for easy upgrades when next-generation bandwidth cables are introduced.
- zQSFP+™ EMI cages Various options in die cast and sheet metal cages address the market need for optimized EMI, higher retention to the PCB and improved thermal performance.
Connectikpeople has also discovered that, during SC13 exhibition hours, ‘Molex
will have on display connectors designed to support the CDFP MSA and present
several live demonstrations of leading-edge technology directly applicable to
the HPC ecosystem. Molex will demonstrate the Silicon Photonics based 2km reach
100 Gbps zQSFP+ AOC. Additionally, Molex will demonstrate advanced thermal
solutions for stacked zQSFP+ integrated connectors for use in 100 Gbps EDR and
Ethernet applications. Molex industry experts will be on hand to discuss these
and other next-generation solutions, including the PCI Express standards for
computer connector and cables.
