Designers of high-performance embedded computing modules and systems must understand the technical considerations required to realize the true benefits of 100G technology fully.

Curtiss-Wright has developed Fabric100, a complete end-to-end ecosystem that features 100 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) connectivity between rugged OpenVPX modules and system components.

Using the same cable for both power and data means that power can be delivered to devices without having to wire new circuits or requiring a separate transformer that converts AC power to DC.
