OverPass

High Speed Bulk Cables

OverPass

External IO

The OverPass cable assembly portfolio is enhanced using Amphenol Spectra-Strip’s high frequency SkewClear EXD cable technology and manufacturing expertise.

  • Offerings include multi-pair cables: 2, 4 and 8 pair constructions in wire gages from 32 AWG to 26 AWG
  • All feature FEP insulated wiring for the higher temperature environments that OverPass products can be exposed to while minimizing associated signal loss
  • They support transmission speeds of 10G, 28G, 56G, 112G, and 224G PAM 4 per lane bandwidths
  • Spectra-Strip engineers work closely with their Amphenol IO connector counterparts assuring our customers the lowest total applied interconnect link cost for their OverPass cable assembly applications

SkewClear® EXD™ Gen 2 (2 extrusion)

Two insulated cores encapsulated in a secondary insulation, shielded longitudinally

  • Closely coupled conductors reduce wire mode conversion
  • Foam insulated cores possible to extend reach / density
  • Longest reach links away from high heat sources (<85°C)
  • Twinax geometry optimized for maximum reach and density for OSFP, Paladin HD2, and UltraPass
