TE Connectivity announces the Ruggedized Optical Backplane Interconnect System, meeting the needs of high-bandwidth computing applications such as high-definition video images requiring optical infrastructure in adverse environments. This system fully complies with VITA 66.1/ANSI and provides a high-density, blind-mate optical interconnect in a backplane/daughtercard configuration. The fiber optic (ribbon) cable interconnect is fed through the backplane to removable system modules using MT ferrules.
