Backplane Connectors
Blinding Speeds
The STRADA Whisper backplane family was designed with your end customer’s need for
high-performing, high-bandwidth systems in mind. Its revolutionary design transfers data at
blinding speeds of 25 Gbps and offers unparalleled scalability up to 56 Gbps—allowing you to
achieve efficient future system upgrades without costly backplane or midplane redesigns.
Performance Matters
The STRADA Whisper product family operates with extremely low noise, low insertion loss
and little to no skew—all of which provide system architects with design flexibility and high
design margin. Specific versions are available for 100-Ohm and 85-Ohm applications so you
don’t have to compromise on impedance discontinuities.
Mechanically, the STRADA Whisper connector family mirrors most high-speed backplane
connectors in the market for easy implementation. It differentiates itself through folded signal
pins surrounded by strong, protective C-shaped shields, which make the product family
one of the most robust offerings in the market. Additionally, the connector footprint keeps
crosstalk down and the overall connector design uses latest eye-of-needle (EON) technology.
Your Design Partner For 56 Gbps Architectures
To ensure smooth transitions from 10 Gbps to 56 Gbps systems using the
STRADA Whisper connector, TE Connectivity (TE) can assign a team of experts—comprised
of our best signal integrity and mechanical engineers—to help you develop a solution that fits
right into your architecture. Whether it’s traditional backplane, orthogonal midplane, direct
plug orthogonal, or a cabled-backplane system, TE can tailor the STRADA Whisper product
portfolio to best fit and enable your system architecture.
