Featuring SCA (Single Connect Attachment) Backplane Technology
- As data transmission rates get faster and faster, bus impedance matters. Rorke Data's SCA
backplane design reduces impedance on the data bus resulting in increased signal integrity and
better performance at these higher speeds. Where it makes sense, we have taken the time to match
impedance characteristics to limit the amount of signal reflections causing unwanted noise on the
bus which can further degrade signal integrity. In addition, SCA backplane reduces the number of
internal connection points which significantly improves long-term reliability
