iPass+ 84-Circuit
120 Gbps Products
mainstream data centers and sub systems that require
scalability, performance and reliability.
iPass+ active and passive cable assemblies will be
available in volume, early 2008. At that point, the
iPass+ Interconnect system will support both copper
and optical mating solutions similar to Molex’s existing
pluggable SFP products. You may hear our product
being referred to in the market as the new “CSFP”
Interconnect. The name was derived from a two-
fold word play on the letter “C”; first, the Roman
number for 100, indicating a form factor targeted
for 100 Gbps, and secondly “C” is the Hex character
for 12, depicting the ability to provide 12 high-speed
transmission channels.

Molex’s 84-circuit, iPass+ integrated connector and cage supports 8, 10 and 12 channels of
InfiniBand* and 10 Gigabit Ethernet data for up to 120 Gbps of pluggable data in one assembly
The iPass Interconnect System offers connectors that
enable flexible-speed compatibility for applications
ranging from 1.0 to 10.0 Gbps, and is an ideal
interconnect solution for the growing server storage
market. iPass+ is the latest addition to the existing
iPass product family.
The 84-circuit iPass+ connector is a derivative of the
x16 iPass PCIe External Cable Standard Input/Output
(I/O) connector. This 84-circuit connector enables
protocols such as InfiniBand to port up to 12 channels
of 2.5, 5.0 or 10 Gbps, enabling 120 Gbps of data
from box-to-box. Fibre Channel can port up to 12
channels of 8.5 or 10 Gbps of data and Ethernet can
port 10 Channels of 10 Gbps, enabling data rates to
100 Gbps.
Applications range from high-performance computing
and storage to networking.iPass+ products are found in
