Longwipe-SMP

1.0-2.3 (DIN 47297) connectors perform at 50 Ohm up to 10 GHz and are characterized by high mechanical and electrical stability. They are 40 % smaller than the 1.6-5.6 series. The connectors offer various coupling mechanisms where male types can be connected with any female type. The quick-lock/push-pull locking/coupling version allows quick installation. This series complies with CECC 22230 and DIN 47297.

Following the revision of the IEC 61169-24 interface standard in response to the increasing performance demands of the broadcast television sector, Rosenberger has fundamentally revised its F-interface calibration elements. The considerably improved characteristics include an extended frequency range, from DC to 4 GHz up to DC to 6 GHz, and a doubling of mating cycles from 500 to 1000. The new 6 GHz-spectrum F series from Rosenberger comprises calibration adaptors, calibration loads, opens, shorts and loads. A new “full range” calibration adaptor is also available, addressing the extremely wide male connector pin tolerances of 0.64 mm to 1.13 mm.

SMP subminiature connectors are well-proven, offering a high level of flexibility in alignment tolerances and simplifying the whole production process. Rosenberger SMP connectors are suitable for a wide range of board-to-board and cable-to-board applications up to 40 GHz. Such a broad frequency range allows from the lowest to the highest mechanical loads to be handled including those experienced in 5G mobile telecommunications, test & measurement and aerospace applications.

Constantly increasing bandwidth requirements in all areas of communication and computing are placing ever greater demands on networking I/O equipment. Current edge-mount copper or fiber interfaces are at their limits even over the short distances on the PCB. Embedded parallel optics have become the solution of choice to meet these demands. High-performance routers, switches and computers have already been utilizing this technology for a decade. Parallel optic solutions are currently used in a wide range of applications: in links between nodes of supercomputers, switches in international Internet gateways as well as in data centers and central offices. Embedded opto-electrical modules and optical engines utilize parallel-optics transmitter and receiver arrays. For optimum signal integrity, thermal management, I/O consolidation and EMI/ESD, the opto-electrical modules are directly mounted close to the processors at the PCB. Parallel-optic links can complement electronic signalling in parallel lanes such as XAUI and PCIe. Using PRIZM® Light Turn®, it is possible to implement a passive plug connection between the opto-electrical modules and the fiber optic network.
