LIGHTCONEX BANDWIDTH UNLEASHED DESCRIPTION Amphenol Aerospace introduces LigthConex blind mate optical interconnect for VPX embedded computers. LightConex integrates a 40Gbps optical transceiver, 120G optical transmitter, and 120G optical receiver into the module connector saving board space and eliminating cables. The low profile backplane connector is a drop in replacement for the standard Vita 66.4 connector. It includes springs to ensure a solid MT to MT connection under extreme shock and vibration. The low profile module connector (6.5mm) mounts to the board via an LGA connector to facilitate optics as an option. It is offered as a 4 channel transceiver, a 12 channel transmitter or a 12 channel receiver. All module connectors operate at up to 10.3125 Gbps per lane from -40 to +85C at ultra-low bit error rates of 10-15. As well, the module connector includes equalizers and pre-emphasis to compensate trace impedance.

The other edges were tested the same Vibration over Temperature MIL-STD-1344A, Method 2005.1, Test Condition V, Letter D (0.1 G2/Hz max., 1.5 hours per axis, see Fig. 2 solid line), with simultaneous temperature exposure of 40 to 85C. Humidity Expose to humidity and temperature cycling per MIL-STD-1344A, Method 1002.2, Type III (240 hrs.). The sample shall be mated. Salt Fog Salt Fog with SO2 per ASTM G85 (Annex A4, Cycle A4.4.4.1). The test sample shall be exposure in the mated condition in a sheet metal container. Sand and Dust MIL-STD-810F, Method 510.4, Procedure I (Blowing Dust, particle size < 150 m, velocity 1750 ft/min). The sample will be mated. The dust test on these two samples will be followed by a Blowing Sand test, also per MIL-STD-810F, Method 510.4, Procedure II (Blowing Sand, particle size > 150 m but < 850 m, velocity 5700 ft/min). Durability 500 mate/un-mate cycles. VI, RNT shall be performed after 500 mate/un-mate cycles. Joe Rothrock Phone: (607) 563- 5062 Email: jrothrock amphenol-aao.com
