Orthogonal Connectors

The XCede® connector family provides designers with superior electrical performance up to 25+ Gb/s (XCede Orthogonal) for orthogonal midplane architectures and 12.5 Gb/s (XCede) for traditional backplane architectures. The XCede Orthogonal connector system provides the first differential connector truly optimized for orthogonal midplane configurations.

The Crossbow connector family provides designers with superior electrical performance up to 20+ Gb/s (Crossbow Matrix) for orthogonal and non othogonal midplane architectures and 12.5 Gb/s (Crossbow 2mm+) for traditional backplane architectures. The Crossbow Matrix connector system provides the first differential connector truly optimized for orthogonal midplane configurations. The Crossbow non orthogonal is enhanced for better routing.
