The Ultraport Z-Link (Gen-Z) scalable connector is a high speed cable solution that offers flexibility and signal integrity for high speed signaling. The scalable Connector uses the 1C, 2C, 4C and 4C+ variations of the SFF-TA-1002 connector system published by SNIA and comply with Gen-Z specification. Amphenol can provide the connector with small size and robust mechanical performance which could provide best flexibility and save the space in system.
