LightABLE 10G LM Series 4TRX, 12TX, and 12RX

Embedded transceiver with microcontroller

The low profile LightABLE 10G LM Series module (5 mm) is offered as a (4+4)-lane transceiver, a 12-channel transmitter, or a 12-channel receiver. The modules can be mounted directly upon a high-speed printed circuit board via surface mountable 1.27 mm pitch BGA or via a MEG-array connector. All modules operate at 10.3125 Gbps per channel over a recommended operating temperature range of −40 °C to 85 °C at ultra-low bit error rates of 10-12.

    Connectors for digital mining operating in arduous environmental conditions and for extreme applications

    The mine of the future is being built on connectivity of data and automation. The benefits of Industry 4.0 through digitalization of data from connected assets in the mining industry is profound. To enable near-real time decision, a digital mine needs to bring together data from across its assets distributed within its value chain. If done correctly, it rewards the industry with increasing uptime of critical assets, reducing costs and operational risks.

    New high-power connectors for demanding defense applications

    The new HBB connector takes the 500 amp version of a single-pole and replaces the internals to have five poles, each with size eight contacts and two interlocked pins. This means that in a very tight space, the customer can run five power lines which increases the connectors’ flexibility and offers the ability to run redundant lines as required.
