Product offers interconnectivity for ATCA Zone 3 and board-to-board applications

9 August 2006 Interconnection

The MTP-CPI (coplanar interconnect) from Molex is said to be the only MT-ferrule-based interconnect designed specifically for co-planar applications. As the ATCA standard continues to be adopted by system designers, there will be a need for an optical coplanar interconnect to handle future bandwidth requirements. The MTP-CPI is intended to meet the dimensional requirements of the ATCA, Zone 3, connector specifications. When used in coplanar applications, the MTP-CPI results in maintenance flexibility and minimal service interruption, since it allows front cards to be replaced without disrupting cable at the rear of the chassis.

The MTP-CPI is not limited to ATCA architectures, and may be used in any coplanar application, such as internetworking, telecommunication and test and measurement equipment. The MTP-CPI interconnects are available in rear-mount and side-mount styles, providing flexibility for boards with limited space.
