High Speed Interconnect Solutions

Boost your performance to more than 7 Gbps with a drop-in solution

The 3M™ Ultra Hard Metric (UHM) Connector is the big cat's meow - the industry's lowest crosstalk 2mm Hard Metric connector. Drop the connector into your 2mm Hard Metric, CompactPCI® or VME backplane designs and get more than 7 Gbps system performance. It's a quick and seamless way to enhance your system's performance to support high speed signals such as PCI Express, SAS/SATA, Rapid IO, GigE and USB. It uses the same PCB footprint as 2MM Hard Metric connectors, saving you the expense and time of re-spinning a board. Just drop the connector in and watch your system roar.
