28 Gbps per lane rugged optical modules28 Gbps per lane rugged optical modules
Reflex Photonics’ new line of 28 Gbps transceivers and VPX interconnects are based on a low profile screw-in module (4.5
mm) that mounts to the board via an LGA connector. They are offered as a 4TRX (4+4)-lane transceiver, a 12TX 12-lane
transmitter or 12RX 12-lane receiver that operate at 28 Gbps per lane from −40 °C to 85 °C at ultra-low bit error rates of 10
−12
.
The optical module occupies a very small volume and footprint of (L×W×H) 27 × 14 × 4.5 mm (including interposer).

Expanding on the successful LightCONEX
®
style A compatible with VITA 66.4 aperture, Reflex Photonics is launching its style
B and style C, both compatible with VITA 67.3 type C, D, and E standard apertures. These new LightCONEX active optical
blind mate interconnects are compatible with the upcoming VITA 66.5 standard and supported by the Sensor Open System
Architecture (SOSA™) consortium.
In addition, Reflex Photonics is launching a new generation of FMC boards. These new VITA 57.1 and 57.4 compliant Optical
FMC Boards offering up to 150 Gbps of full-duplex bandwidth data communication are based on latest generations FPGA’s
and can be used with all the FPGA front end processing boards.
LightCONEX backplanes
Backplane connector Face Plates accommodate
different VITA apertures and are mated to MT-termi-
nated optical cable(s) and MT ferrule(s).
• VITA 66.4
• VITA 67.3C, VITA 67.3D, and VITA 67.3E
LightCONEX plug-in modules
The plug-in module connectors are equipped with
optical transceivers that are either single active,
dual active/passive, or a combination of optical and
RF coaxial connectors.
