Read FCI Electronics' White Paper presented at the 2011 DesignCon.  The abstract reads, "Currently the CEI working group of the OIF is defining channel specifications that should guarantee successful 25 Gb/s serial signal propagation over copper interconnects. The focus of the OIF is on link-level requirements, so there will be no specific requirements for the individual components that make up the link. One problem with this approach is that system designers, who make use of link components such as connectors, have difficulties rating these individual components as there is no specific component specification available. Further more, component manufactures have difficulties claiming compliancy of a connector/component to the standard as it is possible that, using the same connector in different environments, in certain cases a channel will pass compliancy while in other cases a channel will fail compliancy. The scope of this paper is to address this problem".

FCI's AirMax VS® connector system gives designers the freedom to rethink the way backplane systems are designed.  Based on a radical design concept, AirMax VS® (Virtual Shield) connectors eliminate the need for interleaving ground shields by using air as a highly efficient dielectric. The real beauty of the AirMax VS® connector system lies in the flexibility it gives to board layouts. With connectors available in both 2 and 3 mm centerlines designers are able to simplify signal routing. The scalability of the connector solution means that backplane systems designed for 3.125 – 6.25 Gb/s can be upgraded to 12.5 Gb/s operation without redesigning the basic platform. At such speed, the AirMax VS® connector demonstrates exceptionally low insertion loss and crosstalk characteristics.  Check out Newark's extensive Airmax VS inventory  !

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
