New EXTreme EnergetiC high-current connector system from Molex
New release offers highest current density product on the market today delivers maximum power per linear inch, supports up to 100.0A per bay, and works with existing power supply applications Molex Incorporated introduces
the EXTreme EnergetiC™ High- Current Connector System. Complementing Molex’s extensive family of EXTreme interconnect and power supply products the
EXTreme EnergetiC High-Current Connector System is designed to provide high-end datacom OEMs and power supply manufacturers with an advanced solution for applications requiring up to 100.0A per bay. “Currently, connectors designed
for high-end computing applications max out at 60.0A to 75.0A per blade,” says Rich Benson, product manager, Molex. “We developed the EXTreme
EnergetiC High-Current Connector System, supporting up to 100.0A per bay, in anticipation of the increased current density needs of next- generation power supply units.” The EXTreme EnergetiC Connector
System is available in a right- angle plug and vertical receptacle confi gurations, with 4- and 6-power blade bays and a 25-signal bay. A variety of confi gurations can be designed in a modular fashion to support demanding application needs. To fi nd out more, please visit

Kontron MicroTCA Carrier Hubs now support MTCA.4 specifi cation
Kontron has announced today that the Kontron MicroTCA Carrier Hubs (MCH) AM4904/AM4910 have been upgraded to include support of the MTCA.4 specifi cation. Offering the MicroTCA enhancements for rear I/O and precision timing, the MCHs are ideally aligned with the requirements of high-speed data acquisition and processing applications. Target segments include physical research centers and many other high-bandwidth applications that require increased serviceability packed into a compact form factor and feature high levels of performance, bandwidth and availability. By supporting four different high-speed fabric variants, including GbE, sRIO, PCIe and 10 GbE, the new Kontron MicroTCA Carrier Hubs build the backbone of practically all data-intensive MicroTCA-based high-performance applications. Besides deployment in physics applications, other
typical scenarios can be found in telecom markets - including 3G, LTE and network test equipment - and non-telecom markets such as military, medical, test and measurement, as well as in image and video processing applications. To cover the individual application requirements, the modular Kontron AM4904/AM4910 MCHs come in four different versions. The Kontron AM4904-BASE is a pure Gigabit Ethernet switching version; the Kontron AM4904-PCIE has a combined PCIe mezzanine card and the Kontron AM4904- SRIO features sRIO. For high bandwidth demands, the Kontron

AM4910 provides 10 Gigabit Ethernet switching. All the versions provide central management and data switching functionality on a full-size, single-width Advanced Mezzanine Card (AMC) form factor. Equipped with a powerful 600MHz PowerPC 405EX
processor for MCMC functionality and switching management, the MCHs enable highly effi cient, redundant system architectures with up to 12 AMCs, two cooling units and four power units. To provide support for various telco clocks, all Kontron AM4904/AM4910 MCHs feature a sophisticated clock implementation and a PCI Express Fabric Clocking distribution. They also include high- performance features such as wire speed, Enterprise-Class Ethernet switch with Layer 2 switching and Multi-Cast support including full 4K VLANs and Link Aggregation, Quality-of-Service support (QoS). Additionally, a packet classifi cation engine for fl exible Access Control Lists is featured. A full set of standard management interfaces including a user-friendly CLI, SNMP, IPMI and web access enable the easy initialization and control of the MCH’s switching and management functionality. External systems or shelf managers can be connected to the Kontron MCHs via the Ethernet front panel ports. Furthermore, the Kontron MicroTCA Confi guration Management Software OMVIU is available for remote monitoring and control of MicroTCA systems.
The Kontron AM4904-BASE/ PCIE/SRIO and Kontron AM4910 are ready-to-use in any MicroTCA platform. Kontron already offers a wide range of various MicroTCA integrated platforms tailored to the different application requirements. For more information, please visit:
