Contact System
-
Two reliable points of contact
- Even when subjected to angled mating
- Meets Telecordia GR-1217 CORE specification
- 2.4 mm mating surface area (contact wipe)
- Minimizes residual stub
- Clear separation between contact points
- Lowest mating force on the market
- Excellent contact normal force
Wafer Design
-
Individual signal wafers
- Staggered, differential pair design
- 24-72 pairs
-
Ground Plane
- One-piece, embossed ground structure
- Increased isolation significantly reduces crosstalk
-
Ground signal placement engineered for 92Ω impedance
- Addresses both 85 and 100Ω applications
- Balanced differential pairs are arranged in columns with zero skew

Stub-Free Mating
- Fully protected terminals on both backplane and daughtercard connectors ensure stub-free mating
- Hermaphroditic mating interface provides reliable mating, protects pins
