Compatibility Notes  

This cable is specifically designed for Gen-Z 4C infrastructure and requires compatible Gen-Z 4C devices with EDSFF support. The 4C configuration provides 32 high-speed differential pairs, ensuring full bandwidth utilization for high-performance applications. Ensure proper system compatibility before installation, as the Gen-Z 4C connector supports power delivery up to 80W. The cable maintains signal integrity for high-speed data transmission but does not convert between different protocols. This solution is ideal for environments implementing EDSFF form factor devices and building block architecture for connecting different function PCBs. Verify power requirements and thermal considerations for specific application scenarios, especially in high-density server configurations with EDSFF drives. The straight connector configuration is suitable for applications where vertical connection space is available.  

Note: All specifications adhere to SFF-TA-1002 and Gen-Z standards, ensuring interoperability with EDSFF-compliant systems.
