Active optical connectors provide ideal solutions for environments where high data rates are communicated over distances of up to one meter. They find application in diverse sectors such as measurement equipment, image processing, industrial robots, and more.
With Panasonic's updated AOC series, data rates of 8Gbps over 1 channel can be achieved bi-directionally. The connection of these connectors is purely mechanical, the transition optical.
The advantages of optical connectors include insensitivity to electromagnetic interference, electrical isolation, limited power consumption, easy assembly, and compact design.
The AOC series of active optical connectors are excellent for smaller designs and applications requiring next-generation data transfer rates.
