Industrial

Affordable, reliable, high-performance embedded optical transceivers with bandwidth up to 120 Gbps.

Engineers working on today’s high bandwidth industrial systems know that optical interconnect is the only viable option to link all those systems. Optical modules need to be easily integrated, offer flexible electrical and optical interfaces and reliable performance. Reflex Photonics is offering optical transceivers aimed at the industrial market with the LightVISION™ line of products. These embedded industrial transceivers are extremely rugged and deliver bandwidth in excess of 120 Gbps in a chip size part.
