To allow users to achieve future system upgrades without costly backplane or midplane redesigns, TE Connectivity has introduced the new high-speed bandwidth systems, STRADA Whisper backplane connector for the data communications industry. The connector can transfer data at speed of 25 Gbps and offers scalability up to 40 Gbps.
Â
The STRADA Whisper product family operates with extremely low noise, low-insertion loss (less than 1dB and linear up to 20 GHz), and little-to-no skew - all of which provide system architects with design flexibility and high design margin. Additionally, the connector footprint keeps crosstalk down and the overall connector design uses the latest eye-of-needle (EON) technology.

Douglas Lawrence, Global Business Development Manager, TE Data Communications, said, "TE is really on the forefront of 25-Gbps architectures and we can work closely with designers to tailor the STRADA Whisper portfolio to best fit and enable their system needs. TE can assign a team of experts - comprised of our best signal integrity and mechanical engineers -  to help companies develop solutions harnessing the incredible speed and signal integrity of one of the fastest electrical backplane connectors on the market."

The STRADA Whisper portfolio includes three versions: standard, orthogonal (for midplane structures) and a cabled version that allows users to run longer distances with lower-insertion loss than PCB materials.
