XCEDE® BACKPLANE
CONNECTOR SYSTEM
OVERVIEW
XCede® connector platform is designed to provide
headroom for high-speed, serial data rates demanded
by data centers and service provider networks. The use
of polymers in a resonance-damping shield enables low
crosstalk across a wide frequency range.
XCede® connectors also address requirements for high
linear signal density at the backplane and daughter card
interface. Complementary guide and power modules are
also included in the product range. An organizer can be
used to combine groups of right-angle signal, guide and
power modules establishing an integrated daughter card
connector or monoblock.
The XCede® backplane header system provides ruggedness
and long-term reliability required by today’s systems. The
wide ground contacts feature a stiffness-enhancing rib
and are advanced ahead of the signals for robustness and
signal pin protection.
FEATURES & BENEFITS
• High-speed backplane system
• Resonance dampening shield aids in reduction of
crosstalk resonances
• Two ground vias between differential pairs allow
elongated anti-pads to improve impedance control
• Optional short compliant pins permit deeper back-drilling
and dual diameter vias to enhance return loss performance
• Intermate electrically and mechanically interchangeable
equivalency as a licensed second source to Amphenol TCS
• Daughter card monoblocks combine signal, guide and
power modules to simplify board application
