100345 Series, Pluggable Cables

Pluggable cable products are a family of connectorized cable assemblies that are specifically designed to meet industry standard specifications. These cable assemblies play a crucial role in interconnecting various computer hardware and data network infrastructure components. The pluggable cable family encompasses a wide range of products, including both electrical and optical interconnections. Some commonly used pluggable cables include SATA (Serial ATA) cables, eSATA (External Serial ATA) cables, SFP (Small Form-Factor Pluggable) cables, SFP+ cables, micro SFP+ cables, PCIe (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express) cables, QSFP (Quad Small Form-Factor Pluggable) cables, among others. SATA cables are widely used for connecting storage devices, such as hard disk drives and solid-state drives, to motherboards or host controllers. eSATA cables, on the other hand, provide external connectivity for high-speed data transfer between external storage devices and computers. SFP and SFP+ cables are utilized for high-speed data transmission in networking applications. These hot-pluggable cables are commonly used in switches, routers, and network interface cards to establish reliable and high-bandwidth connections. Micro SFP+ cables offer a smaller form factor than standard SFP+ cables, making them suitable for space-constrained environments while maintaining high-speed data transmission capabilities. PCIe cables are primarily used for connecting peripheral devices, such as graphics cards and RAID controllers, to motherboards or other expansion slots. QSFP cables are designed for high-speed data transfer in data centers and enterprise networks. They enable faster transmission rates and higher bandwidth, making them ideal for applications that require substantial data throughput. These pluggable cables adhere to industry standards, ensuring compatibility and interoperability across different manufacturers' hardware. They provide reliable and efficient connectivity solutions for computer systems, data centers, and network infrastructures. In summary, pluggable cable products offer a diverse range of connectorized cable assemblies that are essential for interconnecting computer hardware and data network components. They enable seamless communication and data transfer in various applications, meeting the demands of modern computing and networking environments.
