With the driver and transimpedance amplifier embedded in the OSA and leveraging a ZIF-terminated flex circuit, the Opticis Six-Channel 6-Gbps CWDM OSA (PS51S-R0T-6) is a fully integrated TOSA/ROSA versatile enough to be designed in to a variety of systems, extending to applications such as in HDMI v2.0 and DP 1.2.
Other features include:
- Low-stress, highly flexible connection
- Low current consumption
- Max 200-m transmission distance
- Compatibility and support of both SC and LC receptacles
- Better eye pattern quality
- Directional freedom (right or left) of the FPCB connector.
The CWDM OSA is available in a module type packaging and/or with housing.
Judge's comment: "While high channel density OSAs are not new, putting six integrated into a small package suitable for 200 m over MMF for consumer apps is very innovative and pulls optical communications into a new field."
