Mini Cool Edge IO(MCIO) is a flexible, robust and high performance connector and cable assembly solution that helps
server and networking equipment design flexibility, reduces overall space, and extends the reach for high data rate signals.
MCIO cable assemblies are provided with both discrete and ribbon raw cable 34AWG to 30AWG. The MCIO connector design is
scalable to 24 channels and is available in straight, right angle, right side-exit and left side-exit plug configurations to mate with
right angle and vertical board mount connectors.
MCIO cables are designed for data center, networking and telecommunications markets that use SAS, PCIe, Ethernet and other
signal protocols. The solution can support cable to board and card to board applications in system, which include chip to chip, chip to
module, chip to board and card edge option.
