Samtec (New Albany, IN) has expanded its ExaMAX® High-Speed Backplane Connector System optimized for high-density and high-speed performance. The ExaMAX® header and right-angle receptacle system (EBTM/EBTF-RA Series) is optimized for speeds up to 28 Gbps on a 2.00 mm column pitch or 56 Gbps on a 3.00 mm column pitch. For 28 Gbps performance, this system meets and exceeds OIF-CEI-28G-LR specifications. Return loss compliance is achieved in both 85 Ω and 100 Ω systems due to targeting the 92 Ω specifications and controlling reflections at all geometry transitions within the connector.
