The MULTIGIG RT series tier-2 Connector is the latest product release to meet customer requirements for high-density and high performance two-piece interconnects. In TE and independent lab tests, the MULTIGIG RT tier-2 connector has performed in excess of 6Gbps using standard FR-4 board material and routing techniques and has been demonstrated to 10Gbps. The MULTIGIG RT tier-2 connector system provides the flexibility to configure the daughtercard for differential, single-ended, open pin field or power within a single connector module. All of these options then mate into a common backplane receptacle. The robust connector uses daughtercard plugs with a printed circuit board (PCB) wafer design and backplane receptacles with a completely enclosed dualbeam design. All signal lines use redundant points of contact for high reliability. The MULTIGIG RT tier-2 connector is available for both 20.32 (0.8) and 25.40mm (1 inch) pitch card spacing.
