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.

Rosenberger high-mating cycle products for applications requiring a robust user interface and extremely high mating cycles up to 100,000 connections. Industrial and consumer applications often require a robust user interface for the connection between a special power supply and the device. In such cases Rosenberger high-mating cycle products are the first choice and are available in standard and customized versions.

Rosenberger RPC-TNC precision connectors feature threaded locking mechanism and are suitable for applications up to 18 GHz. Based on the BNC series interface, they are intermateable with standard TNC connectors, 50 Ω and 75 Ω types both. The wide product range includes cable connectors, adaptors and test & measurement accessories such as calibration kits or measurement equipment (open – short – load). Furthermore, variants for aviation and spaceflight applications are available.
