Molex Impel Backplane Interconnect System

Molex's Impel Backplane Interconnect System permits data center migration to faster data rates (40 Gbps) without completely redesigning network architecture or replacing existing hardware. The Impel System delivers superior density and electrical performance, low cross-talk, low insertion loss and minimal performance variations across all channels and frequencies to 20 GHz.

The system's 92 Ohm rated nominal impedance enables the minimization of impedance discontinuities and its IEEE 10GBASE-KR and optical Internetworking Forum (OIF) Stat Eye Compliant Channel performance demonstrates end-to-end channel performance compliance.

Custom cable assemblies are also available.

  • Designed for a direct connection of PCBs in an orthogonal orientation that improves airflow and reduces board-space constraints compared to backplane and midplane connector systems. Simplifies component management for contract manufacturers and designers.
  • Shorter line cards and switch-module signal paths versus typical routed backplane connections that allows for overall robust signal channels.
  • Two compliant-pin attach options and 18 to 72 differential pairs per orthogonal node that provide customers ultimate flexibility to optimize their designs for superior mechanical and electrical performance.
  • Molex patent-pending Impel™ connector technology with tightly coupled differential-pair structure that provides optimal signal integrity and mechanical isolation through the connector system.
  • Compact, compliant-pin backplane and daughtercard connectors with data rates scalable from 25 to 40 Gbps that enables backward and forward compatibility with various high-end system architectures.
