Rugged transceivers are intrinsically robust making them the ideal choice for the most demanding environment. The sealed optical path guarantees optimum performances over high temperature and humidity ranges. LightABLE™ based products can be surface mounted and meet the strictest shock and vibration requirements for industrial and military applications.
