High-speed backplane interconnects offer top data rate of up to 40Gb/s

Mouser now stocks TE Connectivity's STRADA Whisper connectors. The next-generation high-speed backplane interconnects offer industry-leading data rate of up to 40Gb/s for applications such as servers / storage, switches, routers, optical transport and wireless infrastructure. A revolutionary performance upgrade is a result of the extremely low noise characteristics of the individually shielded pairs which provides improved signal integrity and EMI performance over competitive products. TE offers the Whisper product family in three versions: standard, orthogonal (for mid-plane structures) and a cabled version that allows you to run longer distances with lower insertion loss than PCB materials, says the company.
