Critical Upgrade Path from 56G to 112G
“Rising data communication speeds in applications like data centers, servers, storage devices and wireless infrastructure demand higher-performing connector solutions,” said Sawin Saibua, product manager at TE Connectivity. “As the market prepares for 112G, we’re introducing our STRADA Whisper R connectors as a cost-effective backplane solution with new footprint design that facilitates migration from 56G PAM-4 to 112G PAM-4.”

TE Connectivity (TE), a world leader in innovative connectivity solutions for high-speed computing and networking applications, today introduced its STRADA Whisper R backplane connectors, which make future data center system upgrades easier. A newly-optimized footprint helps ensure low crosstalk noise and enables the migration path from
56G PAM-4 to 112G PAM-4.
STRADA Whisper R connectors use the same mating interface and are backwards compatible with TE’s existing STRADA Whisper connectors while maintaining the same excellent electrical performance. In addition, thanks to a new design and a fully-automated assembly process, STRADA Whisper R connectors are more cost-effective than the previous STRADA Whisper design. The connectors are available in 4-pair configurations and 92 Ohm impedance for traditional backplane applications. With 92 Ohm impedance, they support both 85 Ohm and 100 Ohm impedance system requirements.
