Fujitsu just announced what’s reportedly the world’s first quantum dot laser capable of 25 gigabits per second of data transmission. Go on — there’s no need to hold your applause. Now, we’ve seen lasers beam packets at 1.2 terabits per second over miles of open ground , and up to 15.5Tbps through a fat optical pipe , so why would a measly 25Gbps attract our attention? Only because we hear that the…

www.molex.com Impact™ Backplane, Orthogonal Midplane and Cable Systems Molex's Impact™ Backplane and Orthogonal Midplane Connectors and Cable System meets the growing demands of next-generation telecom and data networking equipment The Impact backplane connector provides data rates up to 25 Gbps and superior signal density up to 80 differential pairs per inch. The Impact connector is available in two compliant-pin design options on daughtercard and backplane connectors. The mating interface provides in-line staggered, bifurcated contacts that provide two points of contact for long-term reliability performance and built-in, ground-signal sequencing. This reduces the average mating force per connector to improve the mechanical mating performance of the system.
