Hi, I am trying to select a material for a few projects (small add-in cards as well as ATCA) that will support 10GBase-KR 10Gbps and similar signals.The better but still non-exotic materials datasheets all state typical DF (loss tangent) values around 0.004-0.009, but all say spec value of 0.035 which is a lot higher. I am guessing that the spec value may refer to the closest IPC slash sheet category?Do you work with typical or spec DF values for your ~10Gbps board designs?What is the relevance of the two numbers for larger series production?
