No more limitations from PCB copper strip linesPRIZM® LightTurn®

Constantly increasing bandwidth requirements in all areas of communication and computing are putting greater and greater demands on networking I/O equipment. Current edge-mount copper or fiber interfaces are at their limits. Em-bedded parallel-optics have become the solution of choice to meet these demands. High-perfor-mance routers, switches and computers have already utilized this technology for a decade.

Parallel optics is used in a wide field of applica-tions today: in links between nodes of super-computers or switches in international internet gateways as well as data centers and centraloffices.

Embedded opto-electrical modules, 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 electronicsignaling in parallel lanes like XAUI and PCIe.
