68 Pin VHDCI Connector & Cable Accessories
These 68 Way VHDCI connectors & cables provide a high-density 0.5A solution that is suitable for use to 30Vac. We have developed this range of standard connection solutions to simplify the task of integrating products into a test system, the high density and skill levels involved in terminating this connector mean that we strongly recommend that you use our connection solutions. This category of connectors are not compatible with our products, however, are offered for developing a connection solution for use with other vendor’s products. You can also try our Cable Design Tool to graphically design a customized cable assembly.

PCI To Star Fabric Module
51-921A-001
The use of the StarFabric interface operating at 2.5Gb/s minimizes the impact on system speed. The PCI interface of the 51-921A supports both 32 bit and 64 bit operation and backplane speeds of 33MHz and 66MHz, ensuring the highest speed operation under all conditions. The StarFabric interface ensures the modules perform seamlessly with no impact on the test system software.

Switching System Test Tools
eBIRST
The eBIRST toolset consists of three different tools that support 200-pin LFH, 78-pin and 50-pin connectors and a set of adaptors that allow connection to other connector types. A supplied application program controls the eBIRST tools via a USB2 port that also provides the tool power and controls the switching system using a Test Definition File to define the test sequence. These tools work by measuring the path resistance at the switching system external connectors using four-wire measurements, quickly establishing whether the path is good, has increased resistance or has failed. Below are links to various eBIRST tool information:

Signal Routing Software
Switch Path Manager
Our signal routing software, Switch Path Manager, simplifies signal routing through switching systems and speeds up the development of switching system software. Switch Path Manager supports Pickering''s switching modules and the interconnection between these products. Third-party products can be supported upon request. Once a switching system model has been created, simply defining the endpoints that are required to be connected together can perform signal routing. The ability to automate signal routing results in effective and easy switching system managementsafely and quickly.
