Transmitter and Receiver

The SNAP12 Transmitter and Receiver modules enable high performance multi-channel optical links designed for very short reach (VSR) high-speed data communication and computing applications where bandwidth bottlenecks are incumbent. In terms of Gbps, they offer the lowest cost solution and the highest packaging density. Consisting of 12 independent optical channels, each capable of transmitting 3.5 Gbps up to 300m on 50 micron multimode optical fiber, these modules have an aggregate link bandwidth in excess of 40 Gbps and operate at a wavelength of 850nm. They are optimized for applications which require line rates of 2.5, 2.7 or 3.3 Gbps.

 The Transmitter and Receiver modules have been designed to meet the harshest external operating conditions including temperature, humidity and EMI interference. This unique technology also is expected to enable the modules to meet the most stringent Telcordia and Mil standard specifications. The modules offer very high functionality and feature integration, accessible via a two-wire serial interface.
