TE Connectivity STRADA Whisper Backplane Connectors are high-speed backplane interconnects with a data rate of up to 40Gb/s. These connectors have low noise characteristics for the individually shielded pairs, which provides improved signal integrity and EMI performance. These connectors are ideal for applications in servers and storage, switches, routers, optical transport, and wireless infrastructure.
