With a High-Speed Connector, you can create advanced items in Satisfactory to improve and expand your alien factories. Here’s how to get your hands on this vital component and exactly what you can create with it.

Satisfactory is packed full of important resources and components to collect. Everything has a purpose, whether you’re making Reinforced Iron Plates for coal production or a Crystal Oscillator for radio comms.

When it comes to electronics, the High-Speed Connector is vital, and we’ve got all the information you need about it below.

The High-Speed Connector can be unlocked via the Caterium Research Chain in the MAM. It’s the ninth entry in the chain, and you’ll need x500 Quickwire, and x50 Plastic for the recipe.

To craft the component once it’s unlocked, you’ll need the following materials:

  • x56 Quickwire
  • x10 Cable
  • x1 Circuit Board
