Focus EDL has announced a series of miniature optical transceivers designed to provide designers of network equipment with a high performance, ultra small solution for high data rates of up to 4Gbps. Produced by Focus EDL’s latest principal, Stratos Optical Technologies, the RxK-LT12 is designed around a stepped RJ format.
The family initially consists of 850nm solutions for the fibre channel and Gigabit Ethernet markets, as well as a 1310nm solution which addresses long-wave Gigabit Ethernet requirements.

The transceivers are fully compliant with the IEEE Ethernet and ANSI fibre channel standards but, according to Geoff Philpot, Managing Director at Focus EDL, they can also be used for other datacoms applications within their operating parameters.

Commenting on the new transceivers, Geoff Philpot says, “Stratos is well known for its innovative product design combining advances in performance with miniaturization. These new transceivers enable systems designers to take full advantage of a small footprint alternative to MSA telecom devices in applications where weight and overall equipment size are critical.”
