High efficiency for compact power supplies
Omron has extended its range of power supplies with the launch of the S8PE - a powerful, high efficiency, new line of 3-phase power supplies designed for industrial applications.
It claims that these are the smallest passive CWDM mux/demux solutions in the world.
Omron's new LX4-type Mux/Demux fulfils the demands of this parallel 4 channel standard driven by growth in Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) technology.
A new 8 channel ITU-T version has also been added alongside the existing standard 4 channel model P1X4A.
In addition, new 5 and 9 channel devices have been launched to address the need for 4+1 and 8+1 configurations in applications requiring an 'express' channel.
All versions use the standard ITU CWDM wavelengths.
The P1X series is based on a highly successful Precision Arrayed and Combined Solutions (PACS) architecture.
The use of a micro lens array (MLA) and thin-film filters, precisely mounted in a glass block assembly and working in conjunction with an integral mirror, ensures low insertion loss, good channel uniformity and respectable cross talk performance.
The devices contain only 7 parts, compared with legacy products containing an average of 29 parts.
Using this proprietary small component count structure, the PIX series achieves an exceptionally ultra-compact form factor of L 14.5 x W 7.2 x H 4.7mm.
