New Optimizing Connector Selection
for Gigabit Signal Speeds From FCI

Today's communication technology requires the transmission of higher and higher data rates. Currently, digital signal speeds on printed circuit boards are moving up to 5Gbps. System designers anticipate employing signal speeds of up to 10Gbps in the next few years. This drives the need for enhanced hardware to cope with the signal integrity requirements of these systems. FCI is investing in High Speed connectors to meet the future needs of its customers.

The AirMax VS™ connector system provides an innovative shieldless design, unparalleled flexibility, and superior electrical performance, enabling customers to design their present systems for 2.5Gb/s to 6.25Gb/s and grow their systems to over 10Gb/s without having to redesign their basic platform. With design wins already at major telecom and datacom OEMs, the revolutionary AirMax VS connector system is gaining broad acceptance in the industry.
