TE Connectivity’s (TE) Sliver internal cabled interconnect is one of the most flexible solutions providing up to 25 Gbps data rates. Sliver products are used for making internal I/O connections on the board across many applications, data rates, and protocols (PCI Express, SAS, Ethernet, InfiniBand, and other customer specified protocols). With a 0.6 mm contact pitch, Sliver products are super slim, allowing more to fit inside the box. TE provides a highly robust metal housing design on the connector cage to help withstand cable pull while an active latch provides additional connection security. This technology simplifies design and helps lower overall costs by eliminating the need for re-timers and costlier lower-loss PCB materials while reaching speeds up to 25 Gbps with the use of TE high speed cable.
