Amphenol Communications Solutions announced its PCIe Gen 6 Mini Cool Edge IO GH01 Series.

PCIe Gen6 connectors

Co-developed with the PCI-SIG association, these high-speed and small form factor of 0.6mm pitch connectors perform fully to Gen 6 SI performance at 85ohm impedance and are for use in servers, data center, storage, workstation, and networking equipment to power big data applications including AI and ML.

“Capable of transmitting at PCIe Gen 6 high-speed specification of PAM4 64Gbp/s, the Mini Cool Edge IO is already adopted by several world-leading enterprise data center solution providers in their next-gen server equipment,” said Oscar Yu, product marketing manager. “Mini Cool Edge IO not only provides a SI performance-ready signal transmission but also a new way of system design that is cost-effective, highly modular, scalable, and extremely easy to repair. Working closely with the PCI-SIG committee and in line with Amphenol’s spirit of innovation, we are delighted to launch the PCIe Gen 6 Mini Cool Edge IO GH01 Series.”

Key product characteristics for next-Gen servers
The PCIe Gen 6 Mini Cool Edge IO is a 0.60mm pitch connector family that comes with a slim form factor design and is capable of transmitting high-speed signals up to 64G PAM4/PCIe Gen 6. Supporting both cable and card edge applications with one connector 85ohm impedance, and various pin number options meeting PCIe/NVMe/SAS specifications, the GH01 is a fast connector that provides flexibility in system design to meet the modular, scalable, and easy-to-repair requirements of enterprise server solution providers.
