Fujitsu offers a wide range of external (input/output) and internal
(printed circuit board) electronic connectors, as well as copper and
optical high-speed modules, cable assemblies, and PC Card connectors.
Fujitsu connectors are primarily found in workstations, data
networking equipment, telecommunications devices, peripheral products,
instrumentation, factory automation, and test equipment requiring high
quality, high- reliability interconnect solutions.
Most notable is Fujitsu’s MicroGiGaCN®
connector series (board-to-board and I/O) for gigabit-speed
applications in the converging telecom/datacom market. This
matched-impedance connector utilizes a 3.187 Gbit/sec wire speed
connection with four or twelve wire link widths. Its scalable
performance range of 500MB/second to 6.4GB/second per link meets the
needs of both entry-level and high-end enterprise systems. Forward
crosstalk is less than 4% at 100 pico second pulse-rise time
(four-pair switching).
Applications include network switches and
hubs, and connections between components in high-speed computer
clusters, video systems, test equipment and real-time medical
equipment. This connector series has been adopted by InfiniBand,
Serial Attached SCSI, 10G Ethernet CX4, Serial ATA-2, and 10G Fiber
Channel as the high-speed copper I/O standards interface.
Fujitsu now offers high-speed copper and
optical modules for 10G Ethernet applications. Fujitsu has recently
released CX4 modules in both XENPAK and X2 form factors. In addition,
Fujitsu a parallel optical module converter (OMC) that allows for 4
parallel optical lanes to interface with standard InfiniBand/10G
Ethernet ports is also available.
Fujitsu’s other specialty connectors
include those that support, X2, SCSI I, II, and III; Serial Attached
SCSI (SAS), Intelligent Peripheral Interface (IPI) I and II; SCA2;
Fiber Channel; Media Independent Interface (MII); S-bus; M-bus
(matched impedance), Compact PCI and Infiniband interfaces.
Fujitsu’s complete line of PC Card
connectors includes CompactFlash, and one of the largest offerings of
PC Card and DRAM Card headers. PC Card connectors come in standard or
CardBus configurations, with ESD protection and through-hole or
surface-mount terminals.
