TE Connectivity VITA 66 style D, 3 MT optical modules

Ultra high density rugged backplane/card connector.

TE Connectivity (TE)’s ruggedized optical backplane VITA 66.5 interconnect system provides a highdensity, high-bandwidth, blind-mate optical interconnect in a backplane/daughtercard configuration. The fiber optic ribbon cable interconnect feeds through the backplane to removable system modules using MT ferrules. Designed for rugged embedded computing applications, the fiber optic connectors are compatible with OpenVPX. Connector module designs support half and full size modules, with new higher density variants now available.
