Before clock rates rose into the hundreds of megahertz, high-density backplane connectors had evolved completely under the constraints of mechanical design considerations. At those speeds, and with ...

Etters, Pa. — FCI has developed a broad offering of 29-position, vertical backplane receptacle connectors for the new high-speed, Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) hard disk drive (HDD) interface that is ...

TE Connectivity says that its Strada Whisper direct plug orthogonal (DPO) connectors are designed to eliminate mid-plane connectivity to improve airflow in basestations and other types of ...

Copper backplane interconnects, struggling to meet the needs of high-speed backplane communications, are presently stuck at about 10 Gbits/s. In fact, most systems work at just 3 Gbits/s. To go any ...

Fujikura Europe has launched a low cost disposable cleaning tool, allowing easier cleaning of connectors and receptacles in the backplane. The cleaner accommodates SC, ST and FC connector types, and ...

The U.S. Navy, always seeking paths to reduce the size, weight, and power (SWaP) of systems, took another step in that direction with the FlexVPX concept, which was developed at its U.S. Naval ...
