Product Overview
Based upon the highly succesful Airmax shieldless connector system, ZipLine™ addresses the growing customer demand for maximum signal density – a paramount requirement for future equipment platforms – at data rates up to 12.5 Gb/s.
Compatible with Hard Metric design practice (can be used alongside industry standard IEC-61076-101 connectors from FCI, Harting, ERNI etc.)
Supports differential signaling at up to 12.5 Gb/s
Opposed dual-beam receptacle contact structure provides high reliability
Contains no interleaving shields reducing connector weight, insertion forces, cost and PCB routing complexity
84.6 differential pairs per linear inch makes Zipline the highest density high speed backplane connector
available on the market today
Can be used in conventional backpanel, orthogonal, or even co-planar system architecture.
Features & Benefits
Supports backplane and orthogonal midplane applications
72 differential pairs on 1.8 mm column pitch delivering 84.6 differential pairs per inch of card edge while allowing a minimum 25.0 mm card slot pitch
Highest signal density available at data rates up to 12.5 Gb/s
Uses AirMax VS® shield less technology to deliver low insertion loss and crosstalk
Allows for a mixed differential (orthogonal or back plane), single-edge or power pin assignments within a
connector
Applications
Broadcast equipment, Servers, Medical equipment (MRI etc.), Basestations, Routers, DSP
