HIGH SPEED HARDMETRIC CONNECTOR FOR STORAGE BRIDGE BAY ARCHITECTURE
AirMax VS® high-speed signal connectors, guide modules, and power connectors meet the dimensional and electrical requirements for the Storage Bridge Bay Mid-plane Interface (SBBMI) to connect bridge/controller cards to the mid-plane in a drive enclosure. It is featured with innovative shield-less design and air dielectric between adjacent conductors to deliver lowest insertion loss and crosstalk. It comes with high-speed serial data rates that can scale from 2.5Gb/s to 12.5Gb/s without requiring redesign of a basic platform.
Data Rate: 12.5Gb/s
Meets the requirement of the Storage Bridge Bay Mid-plane Interface
Suitable for JBOD, RAID, iSCSI SAN, Fibre Channel SAN, and NAS
