ExaMAX2® SUPPORTING 112GB/S PAM4 PERFORMANCE The ExaMAX2® backplane connector system supports 112Gb/s PAM4 industry specifications. It maintains mating interface compatibility with previous ExaMAX® products to allow cost/performance flexibility for designers. The mating interface and connector design is optimized to support the demanding electrical and mechanical requirements of 112G systems. ExaMAX2 delivers industry leading SI performance includes RL, ILD and reflections. § The innovative beam-on-beam mating interface provides improved SI performance and exceptionally low mating forces § 100% backward mating compatibility to previous ExaMAX products TARGET MARKETS § Industry leading RL and reflections performance § No resonances before 60GHz § Available in both 90Ω and 85Ω versions § 90Ω nominal impedance version § Meets industry specifications such as OIF 112Gb/s PAM4 and IEEE 100Gb/s PAM4 § 85Ω nominal impedance version § Meets industry specifications such as PCIe® 6.0 and UPI3.0 § Beam-on-beam mating interface § Provides low crosstalk while eliminating insertion loss resonances § Reduces mating force up to 65% compared to traditional blade and beam designs § One additional signal pin per column § Integrates high and low speed signals into the same connector § T-top pre-load and protection § Protect the beam tip during mating process § Supports multiple system structures § Traditional backplane, midplane orthogonal, direct-mate orthogonal, coplanar, mezzanine Amphenol Information Communications
