 configurations. The Matrix connector has differential pairs on each side of the midplane that share vias.This direct path approach and the connector's unique footprint eliminates most electrical problems associated with the traditional backplane via stub A small software routine placed into a program that provides a common function. Stubs are used for a variety of purposes. For example, a stub might be installed in a client machine, and a counterpart installed in a server, where both are required to resolve some protocol, remote procedure , including elimination of cross-talk in the footprint, reflections and impedance mismatches.
