Santa Clara, California - Enabling rapid time-to-market of next-generation SFP+ copper and optical modules, Gennum Corporation (TSX:GND) today announced two new CDR-based reference design kits that facilitate the rapid development of high-performance Fibre Channel and Ethernet modules. Gennum's SFP+ Copper Cable Assembly and SFP+ Optical Module Reference Design Kits (RDKs) are both based on the company's leading 8.5 Gb/s and 10 Gb/s clock and data recovery (CDR) technology and deliver SFP+ solutions with the lowest output jitter on the market.
