U91-A151-1D01-10
The CXP cage and connector system is one of Amphenol’s newest additions to the High Speed I/O
Family. Amphenol’s CXP connector comes in a one-piece press-fit assembly system with twelve
channels of 10 Gbps data rates, resulting in 120 Gbps of total bandwidth – the fastest and most
dense I/O on the market today. It also enables pluggable copper or optical cables to increase the
flexibility of system-level hardware for end users. CXP is ideal for network switches, routers, servers,
and storage devices.
Specification Highlights
The CXP interconnect system is comprised of an 84-position, 2-row press-fit connector
and a cage assembly as one unit complying with SFF-8642.
