TE Connectivity / Raychem CBOT Evaluation Kit
TE Connectivity / Raychem CBOT Evaluation Kit is designed to evaluate high‑speed MULTIGIG transceiver platform performance. This Kit includes the test Tx cable for measuring output power and the test Rx cable for verifying receiver sensitivity. The MULTIGIG TRX leverages up to 12 Chiclet-Based Optical Transceivers (CBOT) capable of transmitting and receiving up to 10Gbps each. This MULTIGIG platform incorporates MULTIGIG RT high-speed press-fit PCB attachment. Typical applications include Ethernet, InfiniBand™, ARINC 818, IFE servers and end points, interconnects rack-to-rack, shelf-to-shelf, board-to-board, and board-to-optical backplane.
