Smiths Interconnect LightCONEX 120 Gbps 24-lane to Power the Next Generation of 3U VPX Cards from Interface Concept
Smiths Interconnect is proud to report that its LightCONEX™ LC 120G (12TRX), the first 120Gbps blind mate optical interconnect, powers a new generation of 3U form factor VPX cards developed by Interface Concept.
The LightCONEX LC 120G is the only full-duplex active blind-mate optical interconnect with 24-lane transceivers on the market; it provides bandwidth in excess of 120Gbps. Based on the OpenVPX™ standards, the LightCONEX frees up critical board space by integrating the optical transceiver into the board edge connector. The compact 120G full-duplex (12+12) 10.3125 Gbps/lane LightABLE™ LL optical transceivers are incorporated into the LightCONEX™ interconnect as per the VITA 66.5 forthcoming standard.
The backplane connector, also part of the LightCONEX solution, has a floating head mechanism that ensures optimal optical mating meeting VITA 66.0 requirements. The rugged construction of these connectors ensures error-free data transmission over all 24 lanes under severe shock, vibration, and temperature extremes.
Maximizing SWaP, performance, and versatility
Smiths Interconnect is now seeing the first commercially available VPX solutions that embark on the LightCONEX LC 120G. These compact FPGA VPX boards take full advantage of the bandwidth offered by LightCONEX to deliver unprecedented performance.
Gerald Persaud, V.P. Business Development comments:
We are very excited that Interface Concept has chosen the LightCONEX LC 120G to integrate into their new IC-FEP-VPX3f card. We believe these cards deliver the best performance/consumption ratio compared to other FPGA cards and the use of Smiths Interconnect’s LightCONEX LC 120G interconnects plays a good part in achieving this level of performance. This standard-compliant design has market-leading I/O density, offers the best “performance/cost per lane” ratio in the industry, satisfies the most stringent SWaP requirements, and opens up new opportunities for VPX card developers.
