This data includes impedance, insertion loss, return loss, propagation delay and crosstalk. 3.2 CONNECTOR PERFORMANCE CONFIGURATION Figure 3-1 shows the configuration used for testing performed with differential pairs. Rows A, C, E and G, as well as Columns 1, 4 and 7 were dedicated to ground. Each of the signal rows included 2 differential pairs. Note that the ground contacts on the odd rows can be used for low speed signals. COLUMN | | |

Reference Section 5.1 for Length & Width Convention. 3.3.1 DIFFERENTIAL IMPEDANCE The minimum and maximum connector impedance is determined for different risetimes of the injected step signal. Figures 3-2 thru 3-13 shows the impedance graphically at 70, 100, 150 and 200ps risetimes for each stack height, respectively. Table 3-1 summarizes the data. | | |
