The Rosenberger FTTA/PTTA Connectivity Boxes are available in standard and tailor-made designs and configurations, in low or high volumes, to meet OEM or Network Operator requirements as to efficient, reliable and easy-to-deploy connectivity boxes. Rosenberger connectivity boxes, designed and produced in-house at Rosenberger in Germany, provide the best workmanship and highest quality to ensure a long and smooth operation even in the most harsh environments.

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 has introduced the P-SMP series of Power/RF coaxial connectors, combining all the space saving advantages of SMP connectors with the high performance of SMA connectors. Unlike SMA and QMA solutions, minimum board-to-board distances of 12.6 mm can be realized by using bullets in different lengths. Furthermore, P-SMP connectors are designed for high power loads, up to 200 W @ 2.2 GHz continuous power, and can handle high frequencies up to 10 GHz. Typical applications therefore include board-to-board connections in base stations or board-to-cable connections in power amplifier filter units.
