In addition, the recently introduced AirMax VSeR provides an upgrade path towards 25 Gb/...

FCI and 3M have entered into a second-source agreement covering the High Power Card Edge and HP2 power product families. We are excited about this opportunity, said Dong Yu, global power portfolio director at FCI. Working with 3M will drive the standard for low-profile, high-efficiency power connectors and cable assemblies. HPCE already has great traction in the market and HP2 will further extend the family with innovative, two-piece solutions fo...

FCI has released its new SuperSpeed USB 3.0 connector that provides a significant performance enhancement versus USB 2.0 connectors. The highly reliable SuperSpeed USB 3.0 connector minimizes user-wait time by supporting a 5 Gbps data rate and providing a faster sync time, which is a 10x performance increase versus USB 2.0 connectors.

FCI today revealed that it has developed a quad small form-factor pluggable-based active optical cable assembly that meets InfinibandR Compliance Testing requirements. The XLerateT High Speed I/O active optical cable assembly is fully compliant to the Infiniband FDR (Fourteen Data Rate - 14 Gb/s per channel) specification, and is now on the Infiniband Trade Association Integrator's List.

FCI has announced today that it has developed a power distribution connector for medical equipment such as automated medication dispensers. The rugged PwrBlade Series connector's ability to handle both power and high-speed data signals delivers a unique, intelligent solution that enables advanced medication inventory management, patient monitoring and medical record management.

FCI is delighted to announce a new advanced series of power distribution connectors for mobile communication applications. The PwrBlade+ Series connectors combine high linear current density and low power loss with ruggedness and durability to deliver an ideal connector solution for truck and trailer-based communications equipment.

FCI's new line of high-speed I/O interfaces, designated the XLerateT Series, enable high-speed I/O cabling solutions and are available in both copper and fiber optic options scaling from 10 Gb/s to 150 Gb/s, in the three most commonly used industry standard form factors - the SFP+, QSFP+ and CXP form factors.

FCI has launched a new line of high-speed I/O cabling solutions. XLerateT is available in bandwidths from 10Gb/s up to 120Gb/s, and FCI is the first and only supplier to offer the complete range of speeds in both copper and fiber optic options, making the product line an ideal fit for data center, high-performance computing, and switching applications.

FCI has expanded its family of flex connector products with the introduction of the SFGL series of ZIF-terminated FPC connectors. With 0.4mm pitch and 0.9mm height, the back flip-type actuator connector is ideal for use in tablet PCs.
