Amphenol Communications Solutions BarKlip® BK1200 HD I/O 1OU Cable Connectors
Amphenol Communications Solutions BarKlip® BK1200 HD I/O 1OU Cable Connectors are compliant with the Open Compute Project (OCP) specification and Open Rack v3 (ORv3) power distribution architecture standards. These high-power cable assemblies distribute up to 1250A per contact, load and return, for a total of up to 2500A. Engineered similarly to other ORv3 busbar connectors, the BK1200 series offers high current-carrying capability. The construction features silver-plated contacts for low contact resistance, a braided flex cable for space conservation, and secondary chassis grounding contacts that provide grounding functionality for enhanced safety. Amphenol BarKlip BK1200 HD I/O 1OU Cable Connectors are ideal for data center applications such as battery backup units (BBUs), power supply units (PSUs), server and storage sleds, and high-density system architectures powering artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML).
