The emergence of faster data rates, and decreasing signal rise times, requires better
performing, high speed connectors. TE Connectivity’s broad portfolio of high speed
backplane connectors provides system designers the flexibility they require to solve their
specific performance challenges.

High Speed Backplane Connectors
Signal Integrity at TE
TE Connectivity gets the best performance out of connectors by applying system-level signal integrity design expertise to each high-speed product.
Our modeling and simulation skills are second to none with global expertise in the U.S., Europe, and Asia. Our global presence places simulation,
modeling, and system layout experts next to the customer.
Modeling and Simulation
At TE the design process starts with signal integrity. Signal integrity engineers use sophisticated 3D tools to provide accurate connector and footprint
via pattern performance prior to production. TE has the tools and expertise to get the right answer.

Test Capability
With measurement capabilities beyond 12.5 Gbps and 50 GHz, TE can characterize and provide detailed measurements for its products. Cutting-edge
measurement calibration techniques and board design enable accurate de-embedding of test fixtures. TE has also teamed with numerous silicon com-
panies to provide active device measurements that can be invaluable to assure the successful implementation of a design.
