With dozens of connector choices, how does a system designer select the right one for a particular application? There are enough industry standards to make the choice even more confusing, but a ...

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 ...

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 ...

Replacing SCSI-drive connections in enterprise storage applications, the company's 29-position, vertical backplane receptacle connectors enable the implementation of serial attached SCSI (SAS) ...

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 ...

Amanufacturer in the embedded-computer industry must choose from more than 65 fabrics on a list that just keeps growing. Many of the switched-interconnect technologies use new, specialized backplanes.

For decades, open systems architectures and open standards have helped accelerate innovation to end users in aerospace and defense applications through the development of interfaces that are open, key ...

Smiths Interconnect has announced the release of its SpaceNXT Aurora Series, the first COTS Plus 2mm Hard Metric backplane connector, tested and qualified to ESA ESCC 3401 specifications. The Aurora ...

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 ...
