TE Connectivity TE Connectivity MULTIGIG RT 3 and MULTIGIG RT 2-S Connectors

TE Connectivity's MULTIGIG RT 3 and MULTIGIG RT 2-S Connectors are next-generation lightweight, rugged, high-speed, backplane connectors that meet the interface dimensions for VITA 46 VPX connectors. The connectors are backward compatible with legacy MULTIGIG RT products and offer the same reliable interface. The MULTIGIG RT 3 connectors support speeds up to +25Gb/s and offer a ruggedized design which makes these connectors ideally suited to withstand many extreme military and space environments. The quad-redundant contacts meet rigorous VITA standards for reliable performance under intense vibrations. A modular design enables numerous configurations by interchanging the higher-speed MULTIGIG RT 3 connectors with the legacy MULTIGIG RT 2 and MULTIGIG RT 2-R connectors. MULTIGIG RT 3 and MULTIGIG RT 2-S applications include aviation, military & defense, and space.

Lightweight, rugged, and high speed is usually a pick two out of three kind of situation, but the exception to that is TE Connectivity MULTIGIG RT 3 and MULTIGIG RT 2-S Connectors.  They provide an excellent solution for backplane environments where all three are needed. The lightweight MULTIGIG RT 3 and MULTIGIG RT 2-S connectors offer maximum data rates of greater than 25 and 16 gigabits per second, respectively, and they utilize quad redundant contacts for reliability in high shock and vibration environments. The RT 3 and RT 2-S connectors conform to VITA 46.30 and VITA 46.0 Open VPX standards respectively and have a minimum mating life span of 500 cycles. Their modular design is backward compatible with legacy MULTIGIG RT products and allows designers to interchange them to achieve the desired configuration.  As such, these connectors are ideal for plug-in modules, server systems, power supplies, and backplanes in numerous applications including military, missile defense, and space.
