New hybrid transceiver offers optical solution for rugged environments

Cinch Connectivity Solutions, a Bel Fuse company, launches its highly ruggedised H28-100G-SR4 Transceiver. This new product provides a BGA mounting bracket and electrical interposer, making it an excellent, space-saving solution for engineers.

The four TX and RX channels use a custom route fibre ribbon that maintains high performance in extreme temperatures ranging from -40C to 85C, all at a data rate of 25.78Gbps per channel up to 100Gbps. Its durability makes it ideal for aerospace, defence, industrial, and other harsh environment applications. Professionals can take advantage of the removable, solder-less, pin-less design and tailor the transceiver to fit their specific needs, making it a versatile and efficient option.

Fibre management can be crucial to ensure reliability, and the transceiver features Stratos' brand Fibre Flex technology, which supports custom pigtail routing. This reduces the need for bulky cable trays and tie downs for a cleaner, more reliable overall design. Also, this industry-leading product has a mated height of less than 0.2" and takes up less than one square inch of PCB space, allowing flexibility with tight space-constrained design applications.
