The CXP connector comes in a one-piece Press-Fit assembly that provides a one-step placement to the board to accommodate single, ganged or stacked connector configurations in extremely high-density requirements. The CXP system has twelve channels for up to 20 Gbps, resulting in 240 Gbps of total bandwidth. This allows our CXP to go beyond the 100 Gigabit Ethernet IEEE 802.3ba and the InfiniBand CXP12x QDR standards. It also enables pluggable copper or optical cables to increase the flexibility of system-level hardware for end users. The low profile CXP optical 4.50mm round cable assemblies offer improved fiber management over traditional flat cables for connecting CXP transceivers.
