Connectors

High-Speed Internal I/O

As system architects design complex signal channels from point A to point B, they encounter obstacles that become increasingly challenging to overcome—especially at higher frequencies. Molex gives technology innovators an industry-leading portfolio of high-speed internal input/output (I/O) solutions that support next-generation speeds, thermal efficiencies and EMI containment inside the required footprint. By replacing traditional mid-boards and backplanes with performance-minded enhancements like high-speed twinax cables, pathways can be shortened to preserve signal integrity—for reconfigurable routing that adheres to current interface standards without traces on the printed circuit board (PCB).
