OPTO-FIRE™ Harsh Environment Media Converters

High Performance Electrical Optical Media Converter

38999 EMI connector, opto-electrical converter

Leveraging our expertise in high temperature and opto-electronic technology, the new media converters offer a UK made low-to-high speed secure data communications solution specifically developed for the harsh environments of military and commercial avionics, subsea communications and military vehicle platforms.

Designed to be an intrinsically safe alternative to copper based electrical cables, these EMI 38999 intermateable converters provide an easy retrofit solution, configured and optimised for specific end-user system needs.

System Benefits

• This product offering is a suitable alternative to copper based electrical cables and is an easy retrofit solution. Data rates range from 20Mbps to 10Gbps over single or multi mode optical fibre. Operational temperature range spans of -55°C to +95°C and this product is designed to be intrinsically safe in combustible environments.

Design Capabilities

• Spectrum Control's product design capabilities offer laser beam profiling, optical alignment (automated active scan and optimise), optical test systems and product design verification, RF/Microwave and optical design and simulation, hermetic sealed hybrid packaging and clean room assembly.
