Cinch and Meritec join forces to develop “breakthrough performance in high speed cable assembly/connector marketplace

Cinch and Meritec have entered into a technology agreement that will combine the collective expertise and leading edge product development of two leading providers in the global high performance connector and cable assembly marketplace.

Through a technology license covering the Meritec NX InfiniBand Architecture Standard High Speed Cable Assembly product line, Cinch will gain access to Meritec's extensive knowledge base and unique construction methodology in the area of high-speed connector and cable design, manufacturing and testing. Known for its specialized approach to wire preparation, construction and termination that yields superior-performing end products, and its innovative backshell solutions, Meritec will complement Cinch's existing connector solutions with its creative approach to problem solving and top-performing products.
In their mutual recognition of the industry's call for a high speed I/O cable and the mating PC board mount receptacle that will perform at 20 GBps (ODR - Octal Data Rates), joint development is already taking place on a solution that will give InfiniBand users a migration path to the next generation of speed and performance.

Cinch is committed to significant investment in this area of advanced technology to provide differentiable solutions offering optimal signal integrity and high performance.
