            ExaMAX® 56 Gb/s High-Speed Backplane Connectors
                    Amphenol’s optimized connector design delivers superior signal integrity performance, resulting in low crosstalk noise and low insertion
    

Image of Amphenol's ExaMAX® 56 Gb/s High-Speed Backplane Connectors Amphenol’s ExaMAX backplane connector system is designed for higher bandwidth applications from 25 Gb/s to 56 Gb/s. The optimized connector design delivers superior signal integrity performance, resulting in low crosstalk noise and low insertion. Each signal wafer incorporates an innovative one-piece, embossed ground structure to improve crosstalk performance through 56 Gb/s. The innovative beam-on-beam contact interface minimizes residual stub for improved signal integrity performance while providing exceptionally low mating forces. The simple, functional design contributes to a very cost-effective solution.
