Engineered for Speed and Durability
C-form factor pluggable (CFP) interconnects are 40 to 100+ Gbps input/output (I/O) connectors for high speed transfer of Ethernet and other protocols in high-performance applications like carrier networks, data centers, and wireless equipment. TE's latest CFP2 and CFP4 interconnects transfer data 2.8 times faster than current CFP products, achieving 28 Gbps per lane for >100 Gbps in a high density, 0.6mm contact pitch. TE’s CFP2 and CFP4 connectors provide industry-leading signal integrity and feature a ruggedized cage construction for a more robust solution than the competition, helping ensure reliable connections.
Product Features
