Hi,
We have bought some TMDXEVM6678L EVM boards, and now we need some cable to connect two Hyperlink ports(iPass+ HD Connector) of the EVM boards.
What cable should I use? And where can I get it ? Could you please provide the model number of this cable ? Thank you very much.
You need the 4x HD int cable assembly. Molex is one we've looked at in house P/N 111067. Here's a Link to one on their website.
Best Regards,
Chad

HI all. The TMDXEVM6670L I have got has a Hyperlink Connector socket, but there is no cable. So I have to looking for a cable which can connect iPassx4 Mini SASHD with another iPassx4 Mini SASHD. Then I can connect two TMDXEVM6670L together to make some application. Can anyone tell me how to buy such a cable? thx
Odzy, I merged the threads - The answer is provided in the above postings.
Hi Chad,
The link seems to be broken. Is this the product you are referring to http://www.molex.com/molex/products/family?key=ipass_hd__interconnect&channel=products&chanName=family&pageTitle=Introduction. Which takes you to a general product page…of which one of the cables in the drawing is a “111067”…but offere little else in terms of information. Anything you can do here to help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Mukesh
Mukesh,
That's the part, it's an iPass HD cable, not sure what more I can provide that Molex wouldn't be able to provide. That Link use to work and you could search on the Part Number, not sure why the search result turns up nothing now. May require some direct contact w/ Molex.
Does the 111067 carry the Power Management and Flow Control signals? Discouraging that there is not a PDF available for this cable.
I'm trying to connect to the HyperLink port of the EVM any way I can and the 111068 cable does not carry the extra sideband signals.
Brian,
What are you connecting the other end of the cable to? There's no physical lanes for extra sideband signals, it's still the x4 SerDes connection. The 111068 cable in theory would work, but you'd need another board w/ a header for the other end on it, and it connect to another devices w/ HyperLink.
Chad,
I'm creating a custom board that will implement the Keystone HyperLink 50 interface including the sideband signals that provide flow control and power management control information.
The EVM has the signals on the iPass + HD connector but they are not accessible other than the vias on the bottom of the board.
Brian
The Hyperlink flow control signals are carried on the 111067-2xx iPass+ HD cable. Table 3.8 in the EVM Technical Reference Manual provides the pinout for the Hyperlink connector. All of these signals are carried on the 111067-2xx cable. All the signals you need for a Hyperlink connection should be present on the cable. Note that we have verified an EVM to EVM connection using Hyperlink.

Bill,
Thanks for the confirmation on the cable. Now to obtain one...
Recently I asked Molex for the cable suitable for the socket placed on board. Actually there is some error on Molex Web-site. They say that 111068 mates with EVM soket while the connector system overview on the web states that 111067 family should be used. However, 111067 cables cannot be located on the web but actually they exist and are thw right choice. 111068 may not be used since it has two drawbacks: 1) connectors on both sides of a cable differ in geometry and 2) connector which can mate with EVM socket is too long to fit EVM board space reserved for plug.
So, the best part number is either 111067-0200 (30 cm long) or 111067-0201 (50 cm long). Digit '2' shown in bold selects cable designed for controller to controller connection, while the digit '1' placed there means controller to backplane connection. This option causes different connection for sideband signals while differential pairs are the same for both options 1 and 2.
The next step is how to order this cable because it is quite a rare thing.
The summary posted by Vladimir is correct. We have tested with the 111067-200 which is the 30cm controller to controller cable. This cable is in produciton at Molex. Unfortunately, it is not being carried by distributors so the minimum order quantity is 500. We are working with Molex and a distributor to resolve this problem. Molex will be building a batch of them for use by us and our customers. The 50cm version, 111067-201, should be available to ship in 6 to 8 weeks.

Hello!
Any info on how to obtain a cable?
The 50 cm cables should be available this week or next as mentioned in previously. Contact a Molex sales person and they should be able to give you more information.
Ham Hello! Any info on how to obtain a cable?
Ordering logistics took longer than expected. The order for the large batch of cables was placed with Molex back in early October. I requested an updated delivery date. I will post it when I get it. My current expectation is the middle of December since the lead time provided for the final order was 10-12 weeks rather than the original estimate of 6-8 weeks.
