Today, TE Connectivity (TE), a global pioneer in connectivity and sensing technologies, unveiled its latest innovation—the STRADA Whisper cable assembly product line. This groundbreaking development eliminates the necessity for printed circuit board (PCB) backplanes, offering instead advanced cable connectors designed to facilitate high-speed data transfer. By supporting such high-speed data transfer, these connectors provide enhanced performance and flexibility, making them ideal for demanding applications like high-performance computing (HPC) and core routing systems.
The STRADA Whisper cable assemblies build upon the exceptional electrical and signal integrity (SI) performance of the existing STRADA Whisper series, capable of achieving data rates of up to 25-56 Gbps using PAM-4 technology, with future scalability anticipated to reach 56 Gbps via NRZ. Additionally, these assemblies exhibit reduced insertion loss, which not only boosts design margins but also enables more creative and innovative architectural designs within systems.
As data transfer speeds continue to rise and the cost of PCB materials escalates, STRADA Whisper cable assemblies present a flexible alternative for supporting longer-distance data transmissions. Moreover, the absence of a direct connection to the PCB extends the range of possible applications. TE offers three primary STRADA Whisper cable solutions: point-to-point cables, value-added components, and comprehensive backplane/midplane solutions.
Jim Gula, the Product Manager at TE's Data and End Devices Division, commented, "In response to the growing industry demand for high-speed connectivity, traditional PCB materials often fall short of delivering the necessary performance levels. Our STRADA Whisper cable assemblies bridge this gap while also enabling longer-distance transmissions. We collaborate closely with our clients to tailor backplane cable assemblies that align perfectly with their unique application requirements."
Vladimir Tamarkin, Manager of Intel’s Platform Engineering Group, added, "When designing the Intel Omni-Path (OPA) architecture, we sought a backplane solution that combined specific needs with outstanding signal integrity and reliability. Leveraging the unique and highly customizable design of the STRADA Whisper cable assembly, we worked alongside TE to develop a connector solution that met all our specifications."
This announcement marks another significant step forward in TE Connectivity's commitment to advancing connectivity solutions for tomorrow’s technological challenges. The STRADA Whisper cable assemblies not only address current industry demands but also set a new standard for future innovations in data transfer capabilities.
