IMPACT™ High Density Backplane Connectors

TE Connectivity's IMPACT™ Connector System meets the increased speed and density requirements of future system upgrades and next generation data networking and telecommunications equipment. TE's IMPACT High Density Backplane Connectors feature unique broad-edge coupled design which utilizes low impedance and a localized ground return path in an optimized differential pair array. The differential pairs are tightly coupled at 80 pairs per linear inch, and are surrounded by ground structures to isolate the pairs. This innovative design enables the IMPACT High Density Backplane Connectors to achieve data rates up to 25Gb/s, reduce crosstalk, and improve overall bandwidth performance with minimal performance variance. The IMPACT High Density Backplane Connectors offered by TE are ideally suited for high speed, backplane applications such as switches, servers/blade servers, storage, and routers.
