Description

A DIFFERENTIAL CONNECTOR OPTIMIZED FOR ORTHOGONAL MID-PLANE APPLICATIONS.

Crossbow allows designers to take advantage of all the benefits associated with orthogonal mid-plane architectures as the differential pairs on each side of the mid-plane share vias creating a straight pass-through connection. This shared via approach combined with the Crossbow footprint, eliminates most electrical problems associated with the typical backplane via stub.

In addition to the electrical benefits, the connector provides the overall lowest cost solution by eliminating the need to route high-speed traces across the backplane to connector from the front to back. This can help to reduce PCB layers by up to 50%.

Crossbow was designed with features allowing the connector to meet the most rigorous mechanical requirements. The contacts are protected with end walls that are higher than the signal blades. In addition to the contact protection, the signal blades are designed to be very rigid utilizing thicker gauges, strengthening ribs and high performance copper alloy.

Features & Benefits

Features

Available in 4x4, 6x6 and 8x8 for Orthogonal applications
Powers and guidance available to achieve desired pin count and mix of features
4 side walls on the module add protection to the contacts
Plastic posts extending beyond the signal blades
Front housings on the Daughtercard adding robustness

Benefits

XCede technology optimized for orthogonal mid-plane architectures
Backward mate compatible derivatives (8X8 & 8X9) allowing for cost effective upgrade paths
Data rates up to 56 Gbps (8x8 & 8x9)
Allows for the lowest cost system approach
Superior Mechanical robustness
Meets the IEEE 802.3ap v3.2 10GBASE-KR standard with margin
