TTI IP&E \u2013 Europe announces immediate stock availability of the MULTIGIG\u00a0RT\u00a02 family of backplane connectors from\u00a0TE\u00a0Connectivity<\/strong><\/a>. This comprehensive offering provides engineers with a robust, scalable solution for high-speed embedded computing in demanding environments. Typical applications include avionics, defence electronics (C4ISR), space systems, and high-performance industrial systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The MULTIGIG\u00a0RT\u00a02 connectors, widely adopted for VITA 46 VPX systems, deliver reliable 10Gbps data rates with a lightweight, pinless design that enhances durability and simplifies handling. The MULTIGIG\u00a0RT\u00a02R takes ruggedisation to the next level, featuring a quad-redundant contact system that significantly improves resistance to vibration and wear with durability of 500 cycles, as proven by extensive environmental testing under VITA 72 standards. This makes the MULTIGIG\u00a0RT\u00a02R a drop-in replacement for legacy VPX systems, offering enhanced reliability without sacrificing backward compatibility. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For applications demanding even higher data rates, TTI Europe now also stocks the MULTIGIG\u00a0RT\u00a02S, supporting 16Gbps performance, and the MULTIGIG\u00a0RT\u00a03, which is designed for 32Gbps operation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
