Loop Back Module is suited for high-speed systems.

Press Release Summary:




Suited for testing systems operating at 500 Mbps to 3.2 Gbps per channel, FCN-261Z00x matched-impedance loop-back module uses internal matched-impedance PCB to perform signal testing. Design offers crosstalk of less than 4% and in pair skew of less than 5 ps to maintain integrity of signal being tested. Unit has die-cast metal housing and latching mechanism. Overall, 12x device measures 48.9 x 71.9 mm.

Fujitsu Releases Matched-Impedance Loop Back Module for High-Speed Systems



Sunnyvale, Calif.-July 29, 2003-Fujitsu Components America, Inc. today released a matched-impedance loop-back module for testing systems operating at 500Mbps to 3.2Gbps per channel. The new module is an expansion of Fujitsu's high-speed, microGiGaCNTM differential connector series.

Fujitsu's FCN-261Z00x loop-back module uses an internal matched-impedance printed circuit board to perform signal testing. This design offers crosstalk of <4% and in pair skew of <5ps to effectively maintain the integrity of the signal being tested.

The FCN-261Z00x loop-back module fits the current form factor of the InfiniBand/IEEE 802.3ak CX4 4x and 12x backshells. It features a die-cast metal housing and a latching mechanism. The 12x device measures 48.9 mm (W) x 71.9mm (L), including the latching mechanism.

Thumbscrew versions of the module will be available later in Q3 2003 to support Serial Attached SCSI and Serial ATA-2 configurations.

Other devices in the microGiGaCN series include a cable-mount I/O plug, and surface-mount-I/O and board-to-board sockets available in 8- and 24-pairs.

Available immediately from stock, a 12x loop-back module is $38.75 and a 4x module is $31.26 in quantities of 50 to 100 pieces.

Fujitsu Components America, Inc. markets and distributes electronic components throughout North, Central and South America. Products include relays, connectors, input and pointing devices, touch panels, KVM switches, and thermal printers. The company is headquartered at 250 E.
