CFP2-ACO
Test Development Kit
COMMUNICATION TEST & MEASUREMENT SOLUTIONS
Summary
The MultiLane CFP2-ACO Development Kit
provides the necessary development tools and
reference modules required for developing
CFP2-ACO based products. This kit is essential
for the development, test and characterization
of CFP2-ACO based products. It can also be
used for testing 100G CDRs, 100G Gearbox
devices, 100G CFP2-AOC ports on routers and
switches, electro-optical modules, and 4x32G
active optical cables.
