eHSD® Connector

• Meets the IEEE 802.3ap v3.2 10GBASE-KR standard
• Scale existing systems to next generation speeds
• 3-5X reduction in wafer-to-wafer crosstalk

Specifications

• Real Signal Pairs - 38 real differential pairs per linear inch (15 real differential pairs per 10mm)
• Minimum Slot Pitch - 22mm

System Upgrades Made Easy

• Scale systems to next generation speeds without costly re-designs. The eHSD connector supports higher data rates with a 3-5X reduction in wafer-to-wafer crosstalk. Insertion loss at 10 GHz is < 2 dB.
• With an identical mating interface and envelope, the eHSD connector is fully backwards mate compatible with existing VHDM-HSD slots. Designers can use eHSD to extend the life of existing designs, reduce development costs and speed higher performance systems to market.

Optimize Performance

• VHDM-HSD™ is formatted with the same modularity features and full breadth of component solutions as the single-ended version, VHDM®. This modularity and its inherent design flexibility allows designers to incorporate both differential and single-ended requirements in the same connector and optimize system designs.
• Create customized slot configurations by mixing any combination of the VHDM, VHDM-HSD and eHSD modules on the same rear organizing stiffener.
