High fibercount & modular Plug & Play fiber optic cabling system

Rosenberger MCX 50 Ω coaxial connectors feature a snap-on locking mechanism. They are mainly applied in RF cable connections up to 6 GHz such as those found in fixed and wireless communication systems. MCX connectors offer high reliability, long service life, as well as easy and fast mounting. The PCB connectors are supplied in tape and reel packaging for automatic assembly to boards and in blisters. MCX connectors with 75 Ω characteristic impedance are available on request.

Rosenberger RPC-TNC precision connectors feature threaded locking mechanism and are suitable for applications up to 18 GHz. Based on the BNC series interface, they are intermateable with standard TNC connectors, 50 Ω and 75 Ω types both. The wide product range includes cable connectors, adaptors and test & measurement accessories such as calibration kits or measurement equipment (open – short – load). Furthermore, variants for aviation and spaceflight applications are available.

Constantly increasing bandwidth requirements in all areas of communication and computing are placing ever greater demands on networking I/O equipment. Current edge-mount copper or fiber interfaces are at their limits even over the short distances on the PCB. Embedded parallel optics have become the solution of choice to meet these demands. High-performance routers, switches and computers have already been utilizing this technology for a decade. Parallel optic solutions are currently used in a wide range of applications: in links between nodes of supercomputers, switches in international Internet gateways as well as in data centers and central offices. Embedded opto-electrical modules and optical engines utilize parallel-optics transmitter and receiver arrays. For optimum signal integrity, thermal management, I/O consolidation and EMI/ESD, the opto-electrical modules are directly mounted close to the processors at the PCB. Parallel-optic links can complement electronic signalling in parallel lanes such as XAUI and PCIe. Using PRIZM® Light Turn®, it is possible to implement a passive plug connection between the opto-electrical modules and the fiber optic network.

Rosenberger coaxial jumpers have been designed using the many years of experience gained by Rosenberger engineers in this field. The unique knowledge of designing and manufacturing world-leading PIM testing equipment is directly reflected in the jumpers. Rosenberger jumpers have the industry-best PIM levels: -117 dBm / -160 dBc @ 2 x 20 W (typ. -120 dBm / -163 dBc @ 2 x 20 W). These excellent levels are guaranteed for every assembly that leaves the Rosenberger production facility.
