Guidance modules assure proper connector alignment prior to connector engagement and are suitable for backplane, coplanar, or orthogonal midplane applications in Hard Metric environments. Modules fitting 20mm slot pitch complement AirMax 4-Pair or 5-Pair modules or ZipLine 6-Pair signal modules. Modules fitting 17mm slot pitch complement AirMax 3-Pair signal modules or can be used with taller signal modules to provide more clearance for airflow.
