Molex impact backplane connector and cable assembly system

Mixed Media

The Molex impact backplane system, which is one of the most versatile offerings in the market, features superior electrical performance up to 28Gbps with the impact zX2 connector. This connector pushes the density envelope to meet next generation high-speed demands.

Impact zX2 28Gbps
- Allows current impact customers to keep their existing architecture in place while upgrading their chassis’ data rates
Impact 85Ohm plus leverages the 100Ohm technology
- Improves common mode performance
Impact power
- Offers 3- through 6-pair sizes in conventional, coplanar and mezzanine configurations
Impact orthogonal direct eliminates the midplane
- Reduces cost
Improves electrical performance
- Removes thermal barriers
Impact orthogonal midplane reduces channel lengths and midplace complexity and costs

The Impact Backplane System features superior electrical performance up to 28 Gbps with the Impact zX2 connector.
