Product Overview
IPEX CABLINE®-VS (20455 Series) and its compatible alternatives may be the most massively used micro coaxial cable connectors, because its 30-pin and 40-pin instances are designated as standard eDP connector by VESA. You can find it in almost every modern notebook PC. It should be your first choice if you just want to make a few Gbps links between two pieces and no more specific requirements.
Product Highlight
- High data-rate transfer up to 20 Gbps / lane
- Simple but reliable mechanical locking bar option
- Flexible cable options (Micro coaxial or FPC)
- Rich pin count options (from 20 to 50)
- Excellent availability & Short lead time
- Field-proven reliability
- Reasonable price
Product Lowlight
- Relatively large footprint
- Limited shield capability
