TE Connectivity STRADA Whisper R Backplane Connectors

TE Connectivity's (TE) STRADA Whisper R Backplane Connectors, an addition to the STRADA Whisper portfolio, provide an upgrade path from 56G PAM-4 to 112G PAM-4. These backplane connectors come with an optimized footprint that simplifies signal path routing and enables a migration path to the 112G. The STRADA Whisper R Backplane Connectors utilize the same mating interface and are backward compatible with the existing STRADA connectors.

TE STRADA Whisper R Backplane Connectors offer low noise, low-insertion loss, and little skew. Typical applications include data centers, servers and storage, wireless infrastructure, optical transport, core routing, and switching.
