The ExaMAX® backplane connector system was designed with higher bandwidth applications in mind. Typically found in high-performance computing, data centers, telecommunications equipment, and other networking infrastructure, it can support transmissions speeds from 25Gb/s to 56Gb/s’ crucial for handling the increasing volume of data traffic in today's interconnected systems.
The optimized connector design is essential for reliable data transmission at high speeds. ExaMAX® connectors are engineered to minimize signal degradation, crosstalk, and other forms of interference that can impair signal quality. Each signal wafer incorporates an innovative one-piece, embossed ground structure to improve crosstalk performance through 56Gb/s. The simple, functional design translates into a cost-effective solution.
Whilst the innovative beam-on-beam contact interface minimizes residual stub for improved signal integrity performance while providing exceptionally low mating forces and eliminates crushed pins
