TE Connectivity Sliver 2.0 Connectors
TE Connectivity's (TE) Sliver 2.0 Connectors are protocol-agnostic, multi-lane high-speed connectors designed for servers and storage. These connectors meet all current protocol requirements for PCIe Gen3/4, SAS-3/4, Infiniband, and Ethernet protocols. TE Sliver 2.0 connectors are also expected to meet performance for IEEE and OIF 56Gbps, SAS5, and PCIE Gen5. These connectors can be used as an alternative to many form-factors including M.2, PCIe, and U.2. The Sliver 2.0 connectors feature high density, high performance, and hot-pluggable function. These connectors are available in various size options including 1C(x4), 2C(x8), and 4C/4C+(16) in both right angle and vertical sizes. Applications include storage, server, network, and other data communication connectivity needs.
