Fujitsu Components Europe has released the first in a series of new connector modules for 4x I/O to support high-speed signal transmission.

The new modules offer a compact, cost-efficient way to increase I/O port density and available printed circuit board space, while simplifying high-speed signal routing on the main PCB.

The first module in Fujitsu's Multi-IO microGiGaCN series is the FCN-268Y032-A.

This is a 2x2-stacked module of four, 4x links that meets InfiniBand, InfiniBand DDR, 10G Fibre Channel and 10GBase-CX4 datarates in a four-channel, bidirectional data-transfer mode.

The module is designed to accommodate up to five modules (20 links) installed in a 1U configuration on a motherboard.

Each 2x2 module mounts to the PCB via a single, Fujitsu high-speed, board-to-board mezzanine connector, which is rated to 10Gbit/s.

Using only a single interface connector per module simplifies board design and reduces component count on the PCB.

In addition, the module's die-cast housing offers a robust, mechanical interface and improved EMI protection.

Options for link-status LEDs and media detect circuitry are planned on future versions.

The FCN-268Y032-A has a 30V AC rating and 240mohm contact resistance (signal), 180mohm (ground).

When mated, it has a differential characteristic impedance of 100ohm +/-10% with 100ps rise time.
