The I-Trac license agreement further illustrates the Molex and ATCS relationship established in the high-speed backplane connector market, beginning with ATCS’s HDM® connector family and extending to include its industry-leading VHDM®, VHDM-HSD™ and GbX® high-speed, high-density connector platforms. The two companies will work jointly to deliver truly intermateable, interchangeable products by sharing design and manufacturing processes. The I-Trac product will be promoted as an extension of the ATCS GbX product family.
The I-Trac Backplane Connector System features a broadside-coupled, skew equalised design capable of data rates up to 12Gbps. With its multiple benefits, including superior impedance control, lower cross-talk and higher overall bandwidth designed for both traditional and orthogonal architectures, I-Trac meets the growing demands of the next generation telecommunications and data networking equipment manufactures. The I-Trac connector system is currently available from Molex in 7, 11 and 15-row versions, with a complete breadth of guidance and power options.
