NovaRay® Micro Rugged Backplane system supports blind mate applications with optional guidance and keying, plus standard weld tabs for a secure connection to the board. The ultra-high density design allows for up to 128 differential pairs in a single connector with configurable signal banks for design flexibility. For performance up to 112 Gbps PAM4, the trusted NovaRay® wafer design eliminates intra-pair skew along with large continuous ground blades between and surrounding the differential pairs, which remove resonances.
