Features and Benefits

Impact zX2 28 Gbps Headers and Receptacles allow current Impact customers to keep their existing architecture in place while upgrading their chassis’ data rates.

Impact 85 Ohm Plus leverages the 100 Ohm technology, density and footprint that offers an electrically enhanced solution with the addition of a plus clip which improves common mode performance.

Impact Power is offered in 3- through 6-pair sizes in conventional, coplanar and mezzanine configurations, with current ratings from 60.0 to 120.0A per module.

Impact Orthogonal Direct eliminates the midplane, enabling customers to reduce cost, improve electrical performance and remove thermal barriers.

Impact Orthogonal Midplane reduces channel lengths and midplace complexity and costs. Daughtercards can be vertically mated on one side of the midplane and horizontally on the other.

Impact data rates scalable up to 25 Gpbs; Impact zX2 data rates scalable up to 28 Gbps
To support future system performance upgrades

Density up to 30 differential pairs per cm (80 differential pairs per linear inch)
Supports high bandwidth needs while minimizing board and system real-estate usage

Simple 1.90 by 1.35mm grid
Provides PCB routing flexibility and reduces cost

IEEE 10GBASE-KR and Optical Internetworking Forum (OIF) Stat Eye Compliant channel performance
Demonstrates end-to-end channel performance compliance

Orthogonal Direct configuration available offering a two piece midplane solution in either a 90° or 270° rotation
Improves airflow, removes via in channel, reduced total number of components and system flexibility

Three compliant-pin options (0.36PTH, 0.39 and 0.46mm)
Provides customers ultimate flexibility to optimize designs for superior mechanical and electrical performance

Versatile configuration options available including conventional, coplanar, mezzanine, orthogonal, and orthogonal direct
Enables customers to leverage the same broad-edge coupled technology across many system architectures

Broad-edge-coupled, differential-pair design
Superior density, low cross-talk, low insertion loss and minimal performance variation across all high-speed channels

Inline staggered mating interface
Reduced mating force by 40% over competing products in the market while providing two points of contact for long-term reliability
