Samtec ExaMAX® High-Speed Backlane Systems

Main Title

ExaMAX® high speed & micro backplane systems

Mixed Media

Increasing data rates, denser systems and shrinking product footprints challenge designers to meet their systems’ high-speed interconnect needs. Samtec provides engineers the service, products, tools and resources to optimise the entire system signal chain from the backplane to the front panel.

ExaMAX® high-speed backplane systems deliver 28 Gbps of electrical performance while offering an easy migration path to 56 Gbps. A choice of 28 Gbps performance on a 2.00 mm column pitch, or 56 Gbps performance on a 3.00 mm column pitch, gives designers the option of optimizing density or minimizing board layer count for high-speed backplane applications.
