Description

AirMax VS2® connectors provide a migration path from AirMaxVS® for speeds up to 20Gb/s, providing

margin of safety fortypical 802.3ap system performance with the flexibility ofan open pin field design.

The connectors leverage AirMax VS®and VSe® design features and technology to achieve improvedsignal

integrity and mechanical attributes compared to AirMaxVS® connectors.

The connector utilizes FCI technology for a shieldless designwith no metallic plates and closely coupled

differential pairdesign to yield low loss and low crosstalk.AirMax VS2® connectors are mating-compatible

to both AirMaxVS® and AirMax VSe® connectors and require no changes toconnector PCB footprints.

The mating-compatible interfacesand capability to preserve critical pin assignments can provide opportunities

for cost savings as new and upgraded equipmentis deployed. For example, a backplane or chassis can

bedesigned to allow the installation and continued use of legacydaughter cards, line cards, or blades that

are already in thefield as well as new or future higher-speed module cards.Right angle and vertical

receptacles and headers supportbackplane, midplane and coplanar applications.

●Provides a migration path to 20Gb/s per differential pair
