High fibercount & modular Plug & Play fiber optic cabling system

Rosenberger SMC subminiature coaxial connectors are for various applications up to 6 GHz. Based on a similar design to the SMB solution, the SMC’s screw-on locking mechanism provides a reliable connection for application in internal devices and cable assemblies. Please note: Rosenberger defines male – female according to the design of center contact.

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.

Compact and lightweight, low-voltage Rosenberger LVR®120 connectors are ideal for such applications as electrical superchargers. Achieving approximately 120 A at 85 °C with a cable cross section of just 16 mm² they are certified to Vibration Severity Level 4. Furthermore, the additional slide locking mechanism (CPA – Connector Position Assurance) prevents accidental unmating.

Rosenberger has developed several TDD beam-forming antennas and hybrid FDD+TDD antennas consisting of 8T8R TDD antennas with 4 ports of FDD low band. Various FDD port configurations are possible, such as 4 ports for low band and 6 ports for high band. The TDD array in this 18-port antenna may operate in B40 (2,300 MHz), B41 (2,500 MHz), or B42/B43 (3,500 MHz band).
