PCI Express^® Gen 6 DirectAttached™ CEM Card Edge Connectors

64GT/S NRZ DIFFERENTIAL SIGNALING FOR NEXT-GENERATION SYSTEMS

The PCI Express^® Gen 6 DirectAttached™ CEM Card Edge Connectors from Amphenol offer superior performance for next-generation systems. The 1.0mm pitch DirectAttached™ CEM (DA CEM) is a hybrid card edge solution with high-speed signal pins designed to directly attach to the cable, limiting PCB trace loss and features press-fit termination power pins for improved rework. These connectors provide signal integrity loss enhancement of 0.5db to 1.0db compared to conventional PCIe^® riser card solutions when paired with a PCIe^® riser cable.

While the connector footprint differs from standard PCIe^® CEM, the mating interface fulfills standard PCIe^® AIC specifications and assures backward compatibility with Gen 5/4/3/2/1. The product is tooled with available configurations for X8 and X16 at a 64GT/s data rate to fulfill PCIe^® Gen 6 standards. It is suitable for a variety of markets, including Desktop PCs, Servers, Workstations, Industrial PCs, and Non-PC applications.

• Backward mating compatible with Gen 5/4/3/2/1 and meets standard PCIe^® interface
• Wide range of positions available, X8 and X16 are tooled
• Flexible mounting ears to meet different customer requirements
• 3 options are available for various application requests: 1pcs solution, 2pcs solution and fully cable out
