Data rates scalable up to and
beyond 25 Gbps
Support future system performance
upgrades (standard Impact 100
Ohm connectors achieve up to
25 Gbps; XTR Impact 100 Ohm
connectors achieve beyond 25
Gbps)
Broad-edge-coupled, differential-
pair system on standard connectors
Superior density, low cross-talk
noise, low insertion loss and
minimal performance variation
across all high-speed channels
Broad-edge-coupled, shield-
to-wafer construction on XTR
daughtercards
Improves signal integrity (SI)
without sacricing industry-leading
density. Lowers cross-talk noise and
minimizes performance variation
compared to legacy Impact
connectors. Supports quad routing
for a reduced PCB layer count.
Footprint and mate compatible with
existing Impact 100 Ohm backplane
products. Provides option to
upgrade electrical performance
when required
Differential-pair density up to
30 pairs per cm (80 pairs per
linear inch) when using 6-pair
congurations)
High differential pair density
supports high bandwidth needs
while minimizing board and system
real-estate usage
Inline staggered interface Reduced mating force by 50% over
competing products in the market
Bifurcated contact beams on the
daughtercard connector
Two points of contact for long-term
reliability and built-in ground-signal
sequencing
Easy-to-manage 1.90 by 1.35mm
grid
Provides PCB routing exibility and
reduces cost
Two compliant-pin attach options
(0.39 and 0.46mm)
Provides customers ultimate
exibility to optimize designs for
superior mechanical and electrical
performance
