VersaLink™ "Zero-Crosstalk" Twinax Connectors and Cables

Innovative differential twinax crimp contacts with highest available bandwidth — up to 28Gbps each — in rugged mil-aero circular and rectangular connector packaging. Hybrid insert arrangements support both standard signal as well as high-speed differential data.

High-speed serial data protocols (USB 3.1 Gen2, USB-C, SATA, PCIe, DisplayPort, and HDMI) all have transmission rates in the 10Gb/s+ range for each data pair. In order to provide truly high-speed signal integrity for these bandwidth-dependent protocols, Glenair has invented a new contact technology called VersaLink™ which delivers outstanding impedance matching and cross-talk isolation at both the cable-to-connector interface, as well as between connector and board.

VersaLink is a highly-engineered differential Twinax contact module that may be packaged in a wide range of both circular and rectangular connector formats such as the MIL-DTL-83513 Micro-D. This high-density package solution provides mating reliability, ruggedness, signal integrity, and deployment simplicity.

• VersaLink: shielded differential Twinax interconnect solution
• Signature Glenair design intermountable in standard Micro-D footprints
• Higher speed and density than mil-spec style Twinax solutions
• Individually shielded pairs result in virtually zero cross talk
• Hybrid arrangements with VersaLink contact modules and standard Micro-D inserts for signal and power

Data-intensive servers, computers and peripheral devices in mission-critical applications require a new generation of shielded contact technology and tried-and-true connector package performance. Both are exquisitely realized in the VersaLink Micro-D.
