Transceiver simplifies optical comms
design
Multichannel multiple-wavelength transmitter and receiver integrates capabilities that would previously have required two or more individual devices.
Omron Electronic Components (Europe) is targeting the growing market for high performance fibre-based video and data link extensions with a new multichannel multiple-wavelength transmitter and receiver (T/ROSA) solution, integrating into a single device capabilities that would previously have required two or more individual devices The assemblies are based on recently acquired Aduro's patented "Afterburner" technology, which is combined with Omron's precision assembly and moulding technologies to create new devices that change the way high speed optical communications are designed

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.
The new Afterburner SX4 range of integrated CWDM-based T/ROSA solutions are aimed at SX4 (850nm) applications, including video and data transmission over 50, 62.5um multimode and polymer optical fibre (POF).
These include optical fibre link extensions for video and data distribution in environments including film and TV studios, security systems and storage access networks (SANs) over distances from 15 to 300m.
The Afterburner SX4 product line is a protocol independent, CWDM-based optical subassembly pair capable of sending and receiving four independent wavelengths (aggregation is also possible) over a single multimode or polymer optical fibre.
The SX4 can be custom configured to operate from two to eight channels (bi-di configuration such as four transmit plus two receive model coming December 2006) and is designed to meet the Fibre Channel 10GbE standard.
The TOSA has LVPECL input, four SW VCSELs and a quad laser driver.
It is guaranteed to transmit over 100m of FDDI-grade multimode fibre (155Mbit/s to 3.125Gbit/s per channel).
The SX4 ROSA boasts CML output, four PIN diodes, quad-channel transimpedance amplifier (TIA), post amp and loss of signal indicator (LOS) built-in as standard.
The Afterburner technology uses a state-of-the-art integrated CWDM filter based structure and ferrule paired with a processor PCB enabling a very small form factor.
The Afterburner structure also benefits from a flexible printed circuit board (FPC) based low mechanical stress isolation design that together, with a suitable moulded clip-in assembly minimises wiggle in application.
