AcceleRate® Board-To-Board and Cable Systems
0.635 mm (0.025”) pitch solutions rated for 64 Gbps PAM4 and 112 Gbps PAM4 applications
Samtec’s AcceleRate® series provide extreme performance for both board-to-board and cable-to-board applications. The AcceleRate® HD ADF6/ADM6 series are ultra-dense, multi-row mezzanine strips rated for 64 Gbps PAM4 on a 0.635 mm (0.025”) pitch. The AcceleRate® HP APF6/APM6 series are high-performance, open-pin-field arrays rated for 112 Gbps PAM4 on a 0.635 mm (0.025”) pitch. The AcceleRate® cable-to-board ARC6/ARF6 series are the industry’s slimmest cable system with direct attach technology and ultra-low skew twinax cable rated for 64 Gbps PAM4 on a 0.635 mm (0.025”) pitch.
