Formerica's Fibre Channel optical transceivers are hot-pluggable, small form-factor (SFP+) Gigabit optical modules with built-in digital diagnostics and LC duplex receptacles. The devices are housed in an all-metal enclosure for superior electromagnetic interference (EMI) performance, are RoHS compliant, and operate on a single 3.3V power supply. Target applications for the transceivers include high-speed storage area networks, 10GBASE-SR Ethernet, and 4G/8G/16G Fibre Channel systems.
Formerica's 100G optical transceivers support data rate links of 100 gigabits per second (Gbps) with a range of up to 150 meters (via OM4). These transceivers are low-power and utilize standard 12/8-line optical fiber with a pluggable MPO optical connector. Like Fibre Channel optical transceivers, the 100G products are hot-pluggable, RoHS compliant, and have an operating temperature range of 0 to 70 degrees Celsius. The transceivers comply with the IEEE 802.3bm 100GBASE SR4 and SFF-8665 (QSFP28 Solution; Revision 1.8) 100G Ethernet standards. Target applications include 100GBASE Ethernet links and InfiniBand (IB) QDR, DDR, and EDR interconnects. Additional data speeds below 100G are available, including 1G, 10G, 25G and 40G.
Formerica products are ideal for data centers, enterprise IT, networking, industrial automation and control, medical vision, video surveillance, 5G, Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), and broadcasting applications.
