Orthogonal connector recieves pestigous award

Hosted by UBM Tech, the DesignVision Awards program comprised of eight categories designed to highlight the company's contributions to the simplification of the design process and customers’ evolving needs. Results were announced at the DesignCon 2014 technology exhibition, held in Santa Clara from January 28th to the 31st, of which FCI was a participant and exhibitor.

Winners were selected by UBM Tech’s editorial team based on three criteria: the product’s vision and insight it brings to customers’ demands, its originality and whether it offers a new approach, and its quality of implementation to suit market requirements.

“Winning the DesignVision award this year has proven to be another key milestone for FCI. We take pride in engineering practical and cutting-edge products for our clients, and we are glad the industry recognizes our endeavors and contributions in this aspect. The innovative design and high bandwidth characteristics of ExaMAX® ensure it is one of the best high speed backplane connectors available in the market,” says Danny Morlion, Chief Technology Officer for FCI Electronics.

FCI's ExaMAX Direct-Mate Orthogonal connector features superior 25Gbps electrical performance across an orthogonal interface without requiring a midplane. Its unique construction enables a dense and smooth differential signal pair transmission path between the two orthogonal boards.
