Interconnect Topic Hubs
Curated collections of the site’s deepest coverage, organized by application area rather than connector type — each one pulls together the key articles, products, and tools relevant to that topic.
AI / GPU Data Center Interconnect Architecture
AI and GPU-driven infrastructure is pushing interconnect design further than traditional servers ever required — more bandwidth, higher power density, and tighter thermal margins, all at once. Here's how connector and interconnect choices shape modern AI data center architecture.
PCIe & CEM Slot Connectors
PCIe CEM slots are the physical backbone of add-in card design — from GPUs and NICs to storage controllers. This hub breaks down slot keying, form factors, power delivery, and the signal integrity demands of PCIe Gen4 through Gen7, for engineers designing or specifying expansion-card hardware.
OCP Server Interconnects
Open Compute Project (OCP) hardware trades proprietary server design for open, standardized interconnects — from management modules and rack-level power busbars to AI accelerator baseboards and storage. Here's how these specifications shape real hardware decisions for engineers building on OCP platforms.
