Rosenberger RPC-1.00 precision connectors – with 50 Ω impedance and 1.00 mm outer diameter – can be used for challenging test & measurement applications up to 110 GHz. They are characterized by excellent technical data over the full frequency range, meet the highest levels of reliability and repeatability of performance, and are intermateable with common 1.00 mm connectors. The standard portfolio covers flexible and semi-rigid cable assemblies, adaptors and PCB connectors. Waveguide-to-coaxial adaptors and gauge kits are also available. Customer-specific cable assembly solutions with or without armouring available on request.

Rosenberger SMP Infinity is the innovative and highly compact PCB connector series with a one-step locking mechanism for delivering maximum performance for a wide range of applications up to 40 GHz. The series is available as cable, PCB and bulkhead connectors, as well as test adaptors and cable assemblies.

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.
