Ethernet Product Family:

Due to reduced cost, higher port density, and lower power consumption, SFP+ and QSFP are becoming the predominant optical module format of new 10 GbE and 40 GbE platforms. The Cortina Systems® Electronic Dispersion Compensation (EDC) PHYs are designed to enable this market. They integrate the latest standards and technology, and support a variety of 10G and 40G (4 × 10G) optical modules, passive and active copper interconnects, as well as 10G KR backplanes.
