AirMax VS??Orthogonal mid-plane interface features two back-to-back AirMax VS??headers oriented at 90 degrees to each other. The headers connect 16 differential signal pairs through shared vias in the mid-plane, providing a direct, high-speed connection while eliminating traces on the mid-plane. The AirMax VS??Orthogonal mid-plane interconnects can support differential signaling at up to 20Gb/s.
