The I-Trac Backplane Connector System from Molex Inc. employs a broadside-coupled, skew-equalized design that can handle data rates over 12.5 Gbits/s. Additionally, it offers superior impedance ...

As data and telecom systems move to speeds beyond 3 Gbit/s, design engineers need improved methods for evaluating the components that go into these systems. Molex has responded to this need with a ...

Copper backplane interconnects, struggling to meet the needs of high-speed backplane communications, are presently stuck at about 10 Gbits/s. In fact, most systems work at just 3 Gbits/s. To go any ...

Lisle, Ill. — The I-Trac Backplane Connector System from Molex Inc. features a broadside-coupled, skew-equalized design that handles speeds up to 12.5+ Gbits/s. The company says it offers several ...

When work started on developing the VPX backplane standard in 2004, members of the VITA Consortium wanted to create something which represented the next revolution in bus boards. The work drew on ...

What exactly does a SCSI backplane do? I'm sure that it depends simply on the model, but does a typical backplane just allow you to connect hotswappable SCA SCSI drives to a standard 68 pin SCSI ...

Since the days when classic open platform technologies, such as VME and CompactPCI, were established in the 1980s and 1990s, the processing power available to system designers has continued to ...

Ever-increasing volumes of traffic strain the capacities of computing and communications gear. Boosting port speeds from 100Mbps Ethernet to 1Gbps Ethernet – and now to 10Gbps Ethernet – on servers, ...

Amanufacturer in the embedded-computer industry must choose from more than 65 fabrics on a list that just keeps growing. Many of the switched-interconnect technologies use new, specialized backplanes.

I've been asked to look into what it takes to get a relatively modern system with 8 usable ISA slots, onboard sound/video and possibly NIC, and a decent CPU. From what I've been able to determine, the ...
