There is a whole host of high speed cable assemblies available. One way to get some options is to call your friendly local connector company reps who will present you their solutions. You could start with molex, amphenol, tyco, FCI, ernie and similar. First browse their web catalogs and you will see what families they offer. If you want custom or semi-custom in small or large quantity, you could try Samtec. These are all companies I have dealt with and had good experiences. Look at something like the infiniband cables as a starting point. With 100s of signals, you probably require a unique solution or some major cable management solutions too. -----Original Message----- From: si-list-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:si-list-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Stephen Greenhalgh Sent: Thursday, February 21, 2008 5:21 AM To: si-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [SI-LIST] inter-cabinet connections I would welcome any suggestions for cable and connectors suitable for passing multiple differential signals (several hundred) at around 3Gbit/s between cabinets (say, a few metres).
