TE Connectivity Ruggedized Optical Backplane Interconnects conform to the VITA 66-1 standard, facilitating high-bandwidth computing applications like high-definition video transmission in challenging environments. These connectors employ a blind-mate optical interconnect configuration between backplanes and daughtercards, utilizing MT ferrules for fiber optic cable connections. The backplane system features locating posts for precise alignment, an optimized receptacle design for enhanced optical performance, and robust guide pins for reliable blind-mating. These connectors also incorporate provisions for cleaning MT interfaces and vibration resistance with Nylok-patched mounting screws.
