Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) connectors are one of the most popular interconnects available in the enterprise storage industry today. These Small Form Factor (SFF) standard connectors support high performance and differential signaling. The protocol has evolved over the years to meet advanced applications. They provide a point-to-point data transfer between motherboards and storage devices like HDDs or SDDs. 

Amphenol ICC added three new products to our high speed and high-density portfolio in June. The high-speed SAS/PCIe 5.0 (U.2 & U.3) connectors come with 32GT/s (PCIe lanes) and 24Gb/s (SAS lanes) speeds to meet the demands of next-generation servers. The 3000W EnergyEdge^™ X-treme Card Edge series is the highest linear density card edge connectors available in the market today.

Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) are digital computers used for industrial and commercial purposes. These machines are often connected to several input devices and perform based on pre-defined programs. It is considered to be the advanced form of conventional hard-wired relay logic, as these can be “programmed” or changed according to the application’s requirements and surpasses the hazards of changing wires. While PCs and smartphones can process multiple programs, (阅读更多)

There are many connectors used in servers and data centers, among which Serial-attached SCSI (SAS) and SAS-PCI Express (SAS/PCIe) connectors are very popular. SAS connectors support higher speed and have more stabilit (阅读更多)

The past decades have witnessed third generation industrial machines take automation to the fore.  They replaced human labour, offered increased productivity, and shortened the lead time, resulting in high-volume production, take automobiles for example. 

This decade, automation has taken industry a notch further to the fourth generation, where factory machines “talk” and “make decisions” with each other, referred to as the “Industrial Internet (阅读更多)
