GC2502 Data Center Cable Processor

The GC2502 provides a new option over the conventional choice between short, bulky copper cables and power-hungry, expensive optical interconnects by enhancing the signal integrity on copper cables while supporting 28GBaud line rates. With dual-channel linear equalization, low input/output return loss, and high common mode rejection, the GC2502 is ideal for 28Gbaud copper interconnects.
