Hi Joyce, It is 12 Gbps Serial Interface. Material should be available at the high-volume off-shore fabs, and cost is also a major consideration.

I know the Taconic materials are. You would need to check with them about the UL approval rating. ________________________________________ From: TechNet [[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of [log in to unmask] [[log in to unmask]] Sent: Thursday, July 19, 2012 8:10 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [TN] Low Loss PCB Material Hi All, We discussed with our quick-turn fab the use of low-loss PCB materials for high-speed applications. As per the discussions,the only such material that is Halogen-Free and has UL Approval seems to be Rogers Theta material. If there are other materials available in US and more importantly at the high-volume fabs off-shore then please share the information. I will really appreciate it. Thanks.
