Telecommunications – In the telecommunications market, the Company believes its key strengths<br />
include: high speed/optical signal product lines; backplane connector systems; power distribution product;<br />
micro-miniature connectors; global coordination; and complementary products such as keyboards and<br />
antennas.<br />
For mobile phones, <strong>Molex</strong> provides micro-miniature connectors, SIM card sockets, keypads,<br />
electromechanical subassemblies and internal antennas and subsystems. An area of particular innovation is<br />
high-speed backplanes and cables for infrastructure equipment. For example, <strong>Molex</strong>’s Plateau HS Dock TM<br />
incorporates a new plated plastic technology to increase bandwidth, reduce crosstalk and control impedance<br />
in applications such as telecommunication routers.<br />
Data Products – In the data market, the Company’s key strengths include: its high-speed signal<br />
product line; storage input/output (I/O) products; standards committee leadership; global coordination; low<br />
cost manufacturing; and strong relationships with OEMs, contract manufacturers and original design<br />
manufacturers.<br />
<strong>Molex</strong> manufactures power, optical and signal connectors and cables for fast end-to-end data<br />
transfer, linking disk drives, controllers, servers, switches and storage enclosures. The Company’s ongoing<br />
involvement in industry committees contributes to the development of new standards for the connectors and<br />
cables that transport data. For example, <strong>Molex</strong>’s family of small form-factor pluggable products offers endusers<br />
both fiber optic and copper connectivity and more efficient storage area network management.<br />
<strong>Molex</strong> holds a strong position with connectors used in servers, the segment of this market that<br />
accounts for the largest volume of connector purchases. The Company offers a large variety of products for<br />
power distribution, signal integrity, processor and memory applications. <strong>Molex</strong> is also the lead designer in the<br />
industry for storage devices. <strong>Molex</strong>’s Serial ATA product enables higher-speed communication between<br />
a computer’s disk drive and processor. In addition, the Company’s product portfolio includes virtually every<br />
interconnect for copiers, printers, scanners and projectors.<br />
