Reference backplane runs for a metre

The GbX FR408 reference backplane has achieved a milestone in system performance by demonstrating a 1.0m 10Gbit/s channel with Xilinx's Virtex-II Pro X FPGA over Isola's affordable FR408 material.

The GbX FR408 reference backplane demonstrator from Molex has successfully achieved a significant milestone in total real system performance by demonstrating a 1.0m 10Gbit/s channel with Xilinx's Virtex-II Pro X FPGA over Isola's affordable FR408 material The reference backplane also provides system and chip design teams an improved method of predicting a component's performance capabilities in an actual datacom or telecom system
