The STRADA Whisper series Backplane Connector for use with optical transport. The STRADA Whisper backplane family was designed with your end customer's need for high-performing, high-bandwidth systems in mind. Its revolutionary design transfers data at blinding speeds of 25Gbps and offers unparalleled scalability up to 40Gbps-allowing you to achieve efficient future system upgrades without costly backplane or midplane redesigns. The STRADA Whisper product family operates with extremely low noise, low insertion loss and little to no skew-all of which provide system architects with design flexibility and high design margin. Specific versions are available for 100 and 85Ω applications so you don't have to compromise on impedance discontinuities. Mechanically, the STRADA Whisper connector family mirrors most high-speed backplane connectors in the market for easy implementation.

• Power sum FEXT is lower than -50dB for system implementation at 12.5GHz
• Insertion loss is less than 1dB and linear up to 20GHz
• Individual shielded pairs offer excellent signal integrity/EMI performance
• Little to no skew through high-speed differential pairs
• Common mode impedance controlled throughout the connector, including footprint and mating interface
• Superior 25Gbps electrical performance maintained even in a 1.5mm unmated condition
