Smiths Interconnect SpaceABLE 10G SL Series 4TRX, 12TX, and 12RX: Radiation-resistant optical transceivers

The SpaceABLE® 10G SM Series radiation resistant transceivers are engineered to withstand radiation doses >100 krad (Si). The low profile SpaceABLE 10G SL Series screw-in module mounts to the board via an LGA connector (interposer). It is offered as a (4+4)-lane transceiver, a 12-channel transmitter, or a 12-channel receiver. All modules operate at 10.3125 Gbps per channel over a recommended operating temperature range of –40 ºC to 85 ºC at ultra-low bit error rates of 10-12. Features & Benefits Small: Less than 6 mm high (module and interposer) Rugged: withstand radiation doses >100 krad (Si) and qualified per MIL-STD 883 shock and vibration Expected life: up to 20 years Performance: up to 10.3125 Gbps/channel over a recommended operating temperature range of –40 ºC to 85 ºC Sensitivity: –9 dBm for BER 10–12 Low power consumption: 115 mW/lane (<10 pJ per bit) 4 TRX (4+4)-lane per device (40G, full duplex) 12 TX or 12 RX channel per device (120G, half duplex) Multimode 850 nm wavelength laser Over 100 m reach on OM3 ribbon fiber Standard MT parallel fiber connector RoHS Equalizer, pre-emphasis, adjustable output Monitoring: LOS, RSSI, temperature, etc. Attaches to system board with 1.55 mm LGA interposer Applications High-throughput communication satellites LEO satellite constellations GEO satellites (with extended lifetime option) Board-to-board and payload-to-payload connections High I/O density, high BW communication links
