Newark, the leading distributor of electronic components and engineering solutions in the Americas and a business of Premier Farnell (LSE:pfl), announced today it was stocking TE’s new enhanced-footprint CXP pluggable I/O connector and cage products. TE’s CXP system has been engineered for applications in high-speed data environments and supports the latest high-speed InfiniBand CXP 12x QDR standard and IEEE 100 Gbps Ethernet specification.
