Smiths Interconnect 28G Rugged Embedded Optical Modules with Integrated CDR for Defense Applications
Sep 03, 2018——Reflex Photonics（Effective August 1st, 2021 Reflex Photonics Inc. has changed its name to Smiths Interconnect Canada Inc.） is proud to announce the launch of a line of rugged embedded optical modules offering up to 28Gbps per lane for defense applications. This line of optical modules consists of the LightABLE™28 mid-board transceiver and the LightCONEX®28 active optical blind mate connector.
28G
The 28G optical modules are highly integrated with CDRs, equalizers, and pre-emphasis to compensate for jitter and high-frequency signal attenuation. The transceivers offer excellent error-free transmission as they can be mounted close to electrical drivers to mitigate electrical signal distortions.
These devices are compatible with QSFP28 firmware, thus, enabling a seamless migration to small, chip-sized optical transceivers that are less than one-fifth the size of a QSFP28 module. As well, these parts support 100G Ethernet and other protocols over 4 full duplex optical lanes. The 28G optical modules are highly integrated with CDRs, equalizers, and pre-emphasis to compensate for jitter and high-frequency signal attenuation. The transceivers offer excellent error-free transmission as they can be mounted close to electrical drivers to mitigate electrical signal distortions.
Rugged devices
The new 28G optical transceivers are intended for harsh environments where reliability is critical and the equipment is under constant stress over its operational life. All parts are qualified to MIL-STD-883J for vibration, thermal cycling, and mechanical and thermal shock in addition to damp heat and cold storage, according to MIL-STD-202 and MIL-STD-810 respectively. This level of testing provides confidence that the 28G design withstands the aggressive effects of thermal cycling, moisture ingress, and other environmental conditions.
Applications
Applications for the new 28G optical transceivers include high-performance computing, AESA radars, media adapters, and optical networks for aircraft, ships, and land vehicles.
Reflex Photonics’ VP of Business Development, Gerald Persaud comments:
Reflex Photonics’ 28G transceivers offer an excellent migration path for next-generation systems that needs to do more, with less SWaP. We continue to build on our rugged technology base by doubling data rates with no compromise to reliability, long life, and error-free transmission.
