Bishop and Associates, Inc. has just released a new 13-chapter research report providing a complete analysis of Evolving High-Speed Connectors. This new report details backplane, midplane, and high-speed backplane cable assemblies. Connector values are provided for each category for the years 2007, 2008,2009, and 2013, as well as region of the world.

Connectors designed to operate in multi-gigabit applications have proliferated over the past four years providing system designers greatly expanded interconnect options and performance levels. Advances in connector as well as signal conditioning technology have pushed interface bandwidth from 3 Gb/s to 20+ Gb/s, with at least one supplier introducing a 40 Gb backplane connector. This market research report addresses the many aspects of the highspeed interconnect market from what is driving demand for faster channels, to defining the key characteristics of the leading connector families that are currently available. Detailed market estimates and forecasts extending to 2013 for backplane and cable connectors by application and region of the world are featured.

A variety of factors associated with high-speed channels have a major influence on their behavior. Chapters are devoted to reviewing related system elements including driver and receiver technology, printed circuit board materials, as well as channel modeling, and performance measurement systems.

A new chapter focused on innovation provides examples of new creative approaches to addressing some of the challenges associated with interconnection and packaging of next generation electronic equipment.

This market research report also includes several tutorial chapters on connector and high-speed design issues that enable a non-technical reader to gain from the information provided.
