It measures 280 × 322.3 mm and has 8 copper layers, 1.69 mm thick.
218 parts, built around the CCSMX1-FBM-RG178-12, 0826-1X4T-HS-F and DMG2305UX. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
From the kit-ipe/atca-simple-loopback-hub repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is atca-simple-loopback-hub.kicad_pcb and its schematic atca-simple-loopback-hub.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Its repository publishes it under the CERN-OHL-P-2.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
