Crossbow™ Orthogonal Midplane Connector

More Information
  • XCede® technology optimized for orthogonal midplane architectures
  • Meets the IEEE 802.3ap v3.2 10GBASE-KR standard with margin
  • 2mm+ version available for routing across the midplane

Features

  • The Crossbow™ connector family provides designers with superior electrical performance up to 25 Gb/s (Crossbow Matrix) for orthogonal midplane architectures and 12.5 Gb/s (Crossbow 2mm+) for traditional backplane architectures. The Crossbow Matrix connector system provides the first differential connector truly optimized for orthogonal midplane configurations.
