Our advanced offerings facilitate air-cooled architectures while controlling overall expense— eliminating the need for potentially pricier liquid cooling. Designed for today’s 112G IO requirements and beyond, these leading-edge options enable thermal improvement of +5^oC over traditional heatsinks and 30W+ of air-cooled efficiency … without increasing fan speed/power. Sound smart? Our customers think so, too.

Empowering You to Excel

Put Modularity to Work for Maximum Performance

Fitting more components in the same server rack while attaining ever-higher speeds and feeds? Sounds like an impossible feat—but not when you’ve got the right connections. At Molex, we’ve found that enabling all-important power distribution to the rack is often easier with a modular approach.

Our PowerPlane Busbar Power Connectors and Cable Assemblies enhance interoperability—for faster next-gen upgrades and consistent high-current performance. Stop by DesignCon Booth #739 for real-time, real-world insights that help you optimize installation and maintenance efficiency.

RF Microwave Solutions = Maximum Performance

Test and Measurement That Goes the Extra Mile

Digital advances in data analytics, machine learning (ML) and the Internet of Things (IoT) are spurring cutting-edge machinery innovations in robotics, aeronautics and more—and with this level of speed and complexity, there’s no room for testing errors in real time. That’s why Molex offers a complete line of high-performance RF cable assemblies, adapters and components for all your test and measurement needs. These versatile solutions are made with low-density PTFE to deliver propagation velocities of 76%, outstanding phase and amplitude stability, and dependable performance at up to 110 GHz speeds.
