Gigabit POF transceiver brings high speed, low cost to fiber optical. As they said, Firecomms – Ireland Optical components company will show its new item - GDL1000 Gigabit POF transceiver on OFC/NFOEC 2012 Exposition: a world-first plastic optical fiber (POF) transceiver that uses Firecomms' Resonant Cavity 650nm LED (RCLED) technology, which the company says is known for its excellent reliability in the automotive and industrial application. Key features of the fiber optical transceiver include a customized driver IC in the transmitter developed internally by Firecomms' new mixed signal IC design team, a new high-speed Resonant Cavity LED (RCLED), and new receiver IC architecture to efficiently detect and convert the POF optical signals.The GDL1000 fiber optical transceiver enables equipment manufacturers to exploit the simplicity of POF--its ease to use and simple, robust terminations--at Gigabit speeds. With overwhelming feedback from our Beta customers in the LANs/SAN, industrial, medical and home networking (FTTH) markets, we look forward to rolling out it across our global customer base.
Compared with the EDL series, this one will transmit more data and signal rate with more lower cost for long distance. More details will show later.
