This translates to the simultaneous transport and switching of more than 2 million high-definition video channels. The new specification defines the ERmet ZD and ERmet ZDplus connectors supplied by ERNI Electronics as the backplane interconnect and on daughterboards. ERNI Electronics strongly supported the development of the new specification by providing the initial models necessary for high-speed signal path simulations, which ultimately led to the definition of a set of interconnect parameters for systems compliant with AdvancedTCA PICMG 3.1R2.0.
The ERmet ZD connector has been selected as the backplane interconnect for the PICMG 3.x (ATCA) standard. ERNI's proposal includes both the signal and power connectors for the ATCA standard. Furthermore, the advanced ERmet ZDplus connector has also been selected for use on daughterboards, as specified by the recent PICMG 3.1 Rev.2.0 standard.
About ERmet ZD and ERmet ZDplus:
ERmet ZD connectors have been developed for high-speed differential signal transmission in telecommunications and data communications applications with transmission speeds up to and above 10 Gbps. ERmet ZD connectors utilize an optimized design that reduces signal interference and provides ample space for routing channels. Their optimized design and effective shielding enable the ERmet ZD system to deliver outstanding performance in terms of crosstalk and reflections.
ERmet ZDplus connectors offer even higher data transmission speeds than ERmet ZD. ERmet ZDplus is based on the same mechanical design as the well-known ERmet ZD. The ERmet ZDplus female connector used on daughterboards is compatible with the ERmet ZD male connector (used on the backplane). This means that no changes to the layout of existing backplane designs are required to adapt the system to the new connector.
With ERmet ZDplus, data transmission speeds of around 15 Gbps and above can be achieved thanks to its greatly improved crosstalk performance and an optimized signal path resulting from the smaller traces on the printed circuit board for the press-fit terminal of the female connectors on the daughterboards.
The English firm BULGIN presents its new series of Waterproof connectors "6000 Series Buccaneer".
The latest addition to the well-known "Buccaneer" connector family is the 6000 Series. This series, with connections for data, signal, or power, features a "Push-Pull" locking and retention system combined with a 30° twist lock mechanism ...
