FCI, a leading manufacturer of high-speed I/O fiber and copper interconnect systems, has introduced an innovative 12-channel on-board optical module (OBT) capable of delivering data at 25Gb/s per channel. This compact module features 12 transmit and 12 receive channels, offering a highly efficient solution that reduces the overall footprint on the PCB while maintaining ease of installation, maintenance, and repair.
To minimize signal loss and ensure optimal performance, the OBT connects to the system via a high-density front-panel fiber-optic cable system. This system includes a small form-factor fiber optic adapter and multi-fiber cable assembly, providing a port-to-port density of 12.5 mm with 12–48 fibers per port. The design supports high-performance connectivity in space-constrained environments.
The onboard optical module uses a new pluggable optical interface combined with lens-based coupling components, making it simple to connect and disconnect fiber optic cables. These transceivers are easily integrated into the PCB through plug-and-play optical interfaces, allowing for quick and efficient assembly or replacement when necessary.
"FCI's new on-board transceivers are specifically designed to meet the evolving demands of hardware designers," said Sven Otte, Engineering Manager/Director at FCI Optics. "Our OBT package addresses key requirements such as reducing PCB space usage, eliminating high-speed signal degradation on backplanes, supporting 25Gb/s+ per channel, and ensuring easy deployment, operation, and replacement."
Although the OFC/NFOEC demonstration highlights the 12-channel capability, the OBT can also be configured for lower bandwidth applications. For example, a 4-channel version with 25Gb/s per channel may be more suitable for certain use cases. Custom configurations are available to meet specific customer needs, making the OBT a flexible and scalable solution for next-generation high-speed communication systems.
