The 5-row receptacle, which offers row-based differential signal assignments, features a PCB footprint that is optimised for signal integrity performance. The Millipacs HS connector meets the requirements of IEEE 803.2ap and is provided with technical support and test reports.
“FCI’s Millipacs HS will enhance the versatility of the legacy backplane systems” said Abin Simon, Product Director, Backplane 2mm Portfolio, FCI. The connector, therefore, provides a cost-effective upgrade to higher data rates as it retains the existing vertical headers in the backplane.
