Many aerospace, defense, and marine system applications exist with unbalanced input and output channel counts, that need to be configured to match different platform needs, or where the multiple input and output link endpoints are physically distributed within a platform.   Mark provides an overview of its MULTIGIG RT Fiber Optic (FO) Chiclet Based Optical Transceiver (CBOT) platform, illustrate its modular flexibility to address these various system applications, and outline future extensions of this product’s capability for longer reach, higher density and increasing data rates.
