NanoRF Hybrid Modules

TE Connectivity's hybrid modules support cable-mount and edge-mount transceivers, giving customers additional modularity

Image of TE Aerospace's NanoRF Hybrid Modules TE Connectivity's (TE) next-generation VPX module market trends are calling for increased density and bandwidth within an embedded computing slot (more speed and functionality). TE Connectivity NanoRF hybrid modules leverage a floating Insert in the backplane with guide features that pre-align contacts before engaging, reducing the potential for damage. These modules offer high-density RF and optical connections within a common connector module for VPX-based embedded computing systems.
