NearStack HD Connector System

Molex NearStack HD connector system is ideal for artificial intelligence (AI) and machine-learning applications. The system offers a low-profile, high-density cable solution with a 64 Gbps PAM-4 data transfer rate that meets PCIe standards for internal cable applications.

With a low-profile connector that optimizes PCB real estate and angled side-exit options that reduce connector spacing designers can maximize real estate in high-density applications. Twinax wires welded directly to the signal contact wafers improve signal integrity, delivering best-in-class crosstalk performance.
