FEATURES
•Innovative shieldless design and air dielectric between adjacent conductors
•Open Pin Field Design
•Connector available in modules with 3, 4, or 5 pairs per column and 6, 8, or 10 columns per module. 85 ohm versions also available
•Backward mating-compatible interface
•AirMax signal, power, and guidance modules in stock at most distributors
•Available with headers or receptacles on the backplane
•Adopted by multiple industry standard architectures, including Storage Bridge Bay and Serial CPCI
•Innovative shieldless edge couple technology and air dielectric between adjacent conductors

BENEFITS
•Reduces cost, improves flexibility and delivers low insertion loss and crosstalk
•Allows mixing of differential pair signals, single ended signals, power and control lines within a standard connector module
•Enables system configuration using common, off-the-shelf modules
•Simplifies design, supply chain management, inventory, and scheduling
•Allows designers to choose the right combination for any specific system using common components, reducing cost and lead times
•Assurance of supply, short lead times, and competitive pricing all reduce risk to the OEM and contract manufacturers
•Reduces connector cost, weight, and PCB routing complexity
•Standard configuration and part numbers accelerate your design and reduce risk
•3mm pitch between columns enables two different pairs to route between columns, reducing board layer count, complexity, and system cost
