Connector Designs To Address Data Rate and Density Challenges
Demand For High Data Rate As the need for bandwidth continues to increase, so does the need for higher data rates within a system. What was once one to three Gbps, then moved to 4 to 8 Gbps, and now we are approaching 28 Gbps and looking forward to 56 G. This trend was recently driven home at DesignCon 2018, where many exhibitors were demonstrating interconnects running at 112 Gbps PAM 4. Although the Datacom and Telecom industries are abuzz pushing these cutting-edge data rates, … [Read more...]
