Optical Transceivers
Based on Reflex Photonics technology, these rugged embedded transceivers offer bandwidth up to 300 Gbps in a chip-sized component. Designed for harsh environments including space, military, aerospace, and industrial applications, the transceivers provide high I/O density with low SWaP.
Versions are available for mounting mid-board, front-panel, or on a VPX backplane (aligned with the SOSA™ technical standard).

Embedded Transceivers
Embedded transceivers are chip-sized components based on 850 nm VCSELs and offer bandwidth up to 300 Gbps for short reach applications (<300 m). These transceivers can be soldered or socketed to a printed circuit board and are well suited for small, compact systems requiring high I/O density, low power, and small space. Many of these transceivers have been qualified to operate in harsh environments, such as the ones found in space, and aerospace and defense applications.

Optical Fiber Cables
Smiths Interconnect carries a wide selection of multimode optical fibre cables and ribbons. Multimode fiber (50/125) is used and can be terminated in multiple styles (MT, MPO, etc.). Lengths of up to 300 m are offered. Custom cables and ribbons are available.

Accessories
The proprietary MicroClip™ is a low-profile, low-mass spring loaded mechanical assembly that offers a rugged optical connection that is resistant for shock and vibration and is suitable for harsh environment. The MicroClip ferrule design has proven it can withstand a 1 kg live traffic fiber pull test on a 12-fiber ribbon cable pigtail mated to its LightABLE™ products (40G SR4 and 120G SR12), without any signal performance degradation. This result exceeds by a factor of 2 the requirements of Telecordia GR-468-CORE Fiber Integrity Side Pull Test and confirms the reliability of the Reflex Photonics fiber ribbon interface with the LightABLE and its MicroClip ferrule.
