Amphenol CS XCede® HD backplane connectors

XCede® HD backplane connector achieves high performance (up to 20Gb/s) in a hard metric form factor. Offering a linear density of up to 84 differential pairs per inch (33 differential pairs per centimeter), the XCede® HD connector meets requirements of high density architectures with 35% increase in density as compared to standard XCede®. These connectors are available in both 85Ω and 100Ω impedance versions with excellent price and performance scalability.
