NovaRay® combines extreme density and performance for 128 Gbps PAM4 per channel in 40% less space than traditional arrays.
The innovative design of NovaRay® combines extreme density and extreme performance, which is critical as system sizes decrease and speeds increase. The fully shielded differential pair design and two reliable points of contact contribute to the industry leading 4.0 Tbps aggregate data rate.
