AirMax VS2® connectors are mating-compatible to both AirMax VS® and AirMax VSe® connectors and require no changes to connector PCB footprints. The mating-compatible interfaces and capability to preserve critical pin assignments can provide opportunities for cost savings as new and upgraded equipment is deployed. For example, a backplane or chassis can be designed to allow the installation and continued use of legacy daughter cards, line cards, or blades that are already in the field as well as new or future higher-speed module cards.

Right angle and vertical receptacles and headers support backplane, midplane and coplanar applications.
