3000 Series is a 2 mm compatible backpanel connector system
consisting of receptacles and headers. The 3000 Series receptacles and
headers both have a unique differential twin-axial structure. This twin-axial
structure allows the 3000 Series Connector System to have superior
electrical performance when routed in a differential pair configuration. The
system is designed to conveniently stack end-to-end with other FCI Metral
products.
The Metral 3000 Series is available in 6x10, 8x10, and 8x12 positions for
midplane applications.
