Modular MULTIGIG RT 2 Connector System with
Data Rates to 10+ Gb/s
The MULTIGIG RT 2 connector, the standard for VITA 46, represents
a huge step forward in the world of rugged computing and C4ISR
enabling technology. The connectors support speeds to 10+ Gb/s,
providing a comfortable performance margin in VPX applications.
This modular connector system features a protected pinless
backplane connector and wafer-based design in place of
pin contacts. Wafers, available for dierential, single-ended,
and power needs, can be easily modified to support specific
customer needs for characteristic impedance, propagation
delay, and other electrical parameters. This lightweight
connector system also oers built in ESD features, enabling field
serviceability, and is fully qualifies for VITA 47 environments.
Ultra-Rugged MULTIGIG RT 2-R Connectors
MULTIGIG RT 2-R connectors are an evolution of MULTIGIG
RT 2 connectors, designed to oer even more ruggedness and
reliability in demanding high-vibration environments. They
go beyond VITA 47 environmental performance to meet the
demanding requirements of VITA 72.
The connectors are specified for VITA 78 SpaceVPX fault-tolerant
interoperable backplanes and modules. The lightweight connectors
oer low outgassing and resist the growth of tin whiskers to high
reliability in the challenging environment of space.
Backward compatible to all existing VITA 46 daughtercards,
rugged MULTIGIG RT 2-R connectors have a pinless interface
tested to 10,000 mating/unmating cycles. The connector has been
torture tested by exposing a 6U VPX test unit to random vibration
levels of 0.2 g2/Hz for 12 hours.
