A HIGH-DENSITY, DIFFERENTIAL, LOW-COST CONNECTOR SOLUTION FOR DATA RATES UP TO 14 GBPS.

Amphenol's GbX connector platform is a differential connector which provides flexible and low-cost design solutions for lower speed applications while providing backwards mate compatible upgrades to allow for up to 14 Gbps. The wide breadth of components (powers and guidance) and the option to use the L-series wafer, which has a 1.85mm x 1.85mm open pin field, provides designers with the flexibility needed to support their specific requirements.

The GbX-U backplane module upgrade provides an enhanced electrical performance by incorporating a new footprint and backplane housing designed for lower crosstalk and easily scales to data rates up to 10 Gbps. To allow for performance rates up to 14 Gbps, the GbX-U connector needs to be mated with the GbX Twist Daughtercard Upgrade. The Twist connector reduces the size of the compliant pin and adds a twist to the signal beams to reduce cross talk.
