050-356 Product Brief

PCB Mount CWDM Dual-Transmitter

100 Mbps – 2.5 Gbps SMF, 3.3V

PCB Mount CWDM Dual-Transmitter, 100Mbps-2.5Gbps, SMF, 3.3V

Glenair 050-356, is a ruggedized harsh environment PC Board Mount Dual-transmitter

with electrical and optical functionality similar to transmitters in SFP transceivers but

with mechanical design that is suited to the harsh temperature and vibration

environments found in Military, Aerospace, Railway, Oil and Gas, and Industrial

applications. The board mount optical dual-transmitters also support Digital

Monitoring Interface (DMI) features in accordance with SFF 8472. The dual-transmitter

interfaces with a host board through a high speed electrical connector.

Each transmitter includes a Transmitter Optical Subassembly (TOSA) and laser driver

circuitry. The TOSA incorporates ITU CWDM wavelength DFB lasers to convert

electrical signals to fiber optic signals; the output of the TOSA mates with the GC

optical connector. The laser driver circuitry regulates the optical output power at

relatively constant levels over operating conditions for signals data patterns that are

DC balanced (for example 8B10B encoding).

.
