I got an email asking if our baluns would work to 16 Gb/s data signals, so I tested them with the fastest data signal we can generate here before our BERT starts to go loopy. Here are the results:

Input:

Balun Eye Diagrams at 14 Gbs Image 1

Non-inverted output:

Balun Eye Diagrams at 14 Gbs Image 2

Inverted Output:

Balun Eye Diagrams at 14 Gbs Image 3

So there you go, the connectorized baluns are suitable for datarates up to at least 14 Gb/s without significant data degradation.
