Rugged Chip Scale Pluggable Optical Transceiver

Rugged Chip Scale Pluggable Optical Transceiver

The Rugged Chip Scale Pluggable (RCP™) optical transceiver is a four channel, electrically pluggable module with offerings at 1-5 Gbps and 6-10 Gbps as a quad transmitter, quad receiver, or dual-duplex device. Each channel has an ARINC 801 fiber optic interface for a secure connection, with an internal fiber tray ensuring alignment between the optics in the module and the fiber optic interface. The electrical interface is a low-profile gasket sealed gold-plated two-part connector. Two screws secure the module to the PCB which, along with metal feet on the housing, creates a rugged and level attachment. An addressable I2C bus allows for digital diagnostic reporting. The RCP is an ARINC 818 compliant rugged transceiver.
