Molex Incorporated has obtained the certification by which its system iPass+™ HD fulfills the standard Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) 2,1 proposed. The inputs and outputs of internal and external connectors of HD of Molex provide the same density of ports for  PCI Express® cards of low profile that the present solution iPass+ of Molex for cards with high standard.

“Several OEM needed a solution connectors of higher density for new products of commutation SAS and controller RAID before anticipated in the Release Plan 2011 for SAS 3,0”, indicate Debbie Kiley, product director ES of high speed in Molex Incorporated, and add: “Molex has the honor of to be selected for the inclusion in standard SAS 2.1. This valued success our strong presence and participation in the more important organisms of standardization and our constant commitment with the design and innovating product development.” Anticipated its launching for the end of year, standard SAS 2,1 satisfies the requirements of 6 connectors ES SAS of Gbps (with capacity of up to 12 Gbps). This standard develops the International to it for Committee Information Technology Standards (INCITS), credited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), under whose norms it operates. Molex is giving help to many committees and groups of standardization from the initial stages of the development. For example, the system of interconnection QSFP (Quad Small Pluggable Form-factor) of Molex, already including in the InfiniBand specification †, finishes appearing to the work group on T10 standards for its inclusion in SAS 2,1 and is passing through the process of standardization IEEE® 802.3ba for protocols of 100 Ethernet of 40 and Gbps. Of similar way, connector ES CXP is getting up to the InfiniBand specification 120 12x SFP of Gbps and also 802.3ba for Ethernet register like 100 solution of Gbps in the emergent standard IEEE. As much connectors ES CXP as QSFP already have been gotten up to new product designs in the market.
