Engineers with questions about this technology can find answers at element14, Premier Farnell’s popular global engineering portal and community.
The CFP compliant connector, available for same day shipping at www.newark.com, is an ultra-high speed pluggable I/O interface supporting 40 Gb/s and 100 Gb/s Ethernet applications.
