HYPERBOLOID CONTACT TECHNOLOGY AND RUGGED MATERIALS PROTECT SIGNAL INTEGRITY IN DATA DRIVEN APPLICATIONS
CHIARA PIERI, MARKETING COMMUNICATIONS MANAGER, SMITHS INTERCONNECT
Select materials, superior contact technology, and regulatory compliance help assure designers that high-speed connectors are rigorously qualified for severe environments. Any discussion of signal performance in harsh environments should include space applications. Interconnect solutions specified for space applications must ensure durability, reliability, and low-outgassing, and meet the VPX computer bus standard (VITA 46) that is becoming the standard of choice for high- performance defense systems.
OPTIMIZING ETHERNET LINKS Data driven applications that operate in harsh environments, including radar processing, intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR), and multi-function digital display processors, require high-speed and intensive computing power together with an adequate level of signal integrity. Organizations began to replace low- speed telecommunication systems with high- speed equipment around 10 years ago. As the market evolves, more innovative interconnects have become available to serve these upgrade initiatives.
