BACKPANEL CONNECTORS
XCede^® High-Performance
Backplane Connector System
Description
FCI’s XCede^® connector platform is designed for 25 Gb/s
performance to provide the headroom to support future
high-speed, serial data rate requirements demanded by
next-generation equipment in data centers and service
provider networks. The use of engineering polymers in a
resonance-damping shield enables very low crosstalk
across a wide frequency range.
XCede connectors also address requirements for higher
linear signal density at the interface of backplane and
daughter card. Signal connectors can be configured with
2, 4 or 6 differential pairs per column, providing up to 82.4
differential pairs/inch, suiting architectures with multiple
front or rear fabric slots and blade systems with cooling
straight through the backplane. Complementary guidance
and power modules are also included in the product
range. A wafer organizer can be used to combine groups
of right-angle signal, guidance and power modules as an
integrated daughter-card connector.
The XCede backplane header system provides the
ruggedness and long-term reliability required by today’s
systems. The wide ground contacts feature a stiffness-
enhancing rib and are advanced well ahead of the signals
for exceptional robustness and signal pin protection.
