Protokraft intros octal port D38999 fiber optic transceivers optimized for harsh environments


Sep 13, 2011

Protokraft has announced the availability of its Matrix series octal port (16xfiber), panel mounted optical transceivers with D38999 fiber optic external connector interfaces to improve the performance and reliability of high speed communications links in harsh environment applications.

The Matrix octal port optical transceivers with D38999 fiber optic connector interfaces are intended for military, aerospace, petrochemical, mining, industrial or utility applications where significant levels of shock, vibration and extreme temperature ranges are experienced. The MIL-DTL-38999 Series III shell provides a sealed interface that is water-tight to MIL-STD-810 when mated. The transceivers are vibration isolated, environmentally hardened components sealed against liquid and solid contaminants. The components are designed for use in platforms where small size, weight reduction and resistance to dirt, dust and other contaminants are highly valued. Applications include civil and military vehicle networking, sFPDP, sRIO, 1x/2x/4xFC, GbE, PCI-e and many other applications.

The new transceivers are available with 16xoptical transmitters, 16xoptical receivers or 8xtransmitters + 8xreceivers, providing data communication links up to 80Gbps in one connector. The tranceiver's external interface incorporates D38999/23-21 fiber optic connectors with up to 16xM29504/4 multimode or singlemode fiber optic ports. The tranceiver's internal electrical interface is comprised of a ribbon coax cable to Samtec SMT connector assembly, enabling interconnection to a motherboard, daughter card or backplane. Power to the unit (3.3VDC) is supplied through the Samtec connectors.

Designed to operate in harsh environments, the Matrix series octal port optoelectronic transceivers feature excellent thermal characteristics, high tolerance to vibration and shock and corrosion resistant aluminum housings for exceptional EMI/RFI performance. Standard case operating temperature range is -55°C to +85°C, with a standard storage temperature range of -65°C to +100°C. All operate from 3.3VDC power supplies.

Key features:

--Up to 16xTX or RX functions in a rugged metal housing with D38999 connector interface
--D38999 Size 23/21 shell with Mil-T-29504/04 multimode or single mode fiber optic contacts
--Compact size and light weight (<8oz.) for simple mounting and installation
--Suitable for any application from 125Mbps to 5.0Gbps
--Optical fiber link distances up to 2.0Kilometers
--Operating temperature range from -55°C to +85°C
--Shock, vibration and immersion resistant per MIL-STD-810
--OD-CD, NI or ZN-NI plating meets stringent corrosion resistance performance specifications
--Aluminum housings are strong, durable and light weight
--Samtec EQCD series electrical connector for SMT interface
