## **SLIVER INTERNAL CABLED INTERCONNECT SOLUTION** 

## Connectors and Cable Assemblies 

Due to the latest high speed demands in networking equipment TE Connectivity (TE) has developed the new Sliver internal cabled interconnect which provides one of the most flexible solutions in the market for making internal I/O connections on the board. Sliver products can be used across many applications, data rates and protocols (PCI Express, SAS, Ethernet). 

With a 0.6mm contact pitch, Sliver products are super slim, allowing you to fit more inside the box. TE provides a highly robust metal housing design on the connector cage with an active latch providing additional connection security. 

This new technology simplifies design and helps lower overall costs by eliminating the need for re-timers and more costly lower-loss PCB materials while reaching speeds up to 25 Gbps with the use of TE high speed cable. 

## Applications

**Sliver Internal Cabled Interconnect Solution** 

## Ultimate flexibility in applications, data rates and protocols 

Vertical and right angle connector and cable solutions provide a flexible solution set in addition to allowing for both cabled and card-edge interconnect designs. 

With a flexible pinout arrangement, multiple mounting and mating options, and the support of present and future data rate protocols, the Sliver interconnect solution provides a variety of configuration options to address your application needs. 

## Free up design space 

The 0.6mm contact pitch is up to 30% denser than most existing solutions, allowing you to fit more inside the box. 

## Reliable connections 

The Sliver interconnect solution provides a robust connector housing design while an active latch provides additional connection security for data critical applications. 

## Lower design costs 

Sliver connector and cable assemblies can lower overall costs by eliminating the need for re-timers and more costly lower loss PCB materials. 

## **Key Features** 

- 0.6mm pitch SMT connector design includes robust metal housing
