TE Connectivity introduces the CFP pluggable I/O connectors designed for high speed communications. CFP2 and CFP4 interconnects transfer data 2.8 times faster than current CFP products, achieving 28 Gbps per lane for >100 Gbps Ethernet (and other protocols) in a high density, 0.6 mm contact pitch. In addition, they provide excellent signal integrity and feature a ruggedized cage construction for a more robust solution than the competition, helping ensure reliable connections. With one of the largest CFP2 and CFP4 portfolios, TE offers many flexible design options to meet project needs.
