Spitfire 3.3 VDC Ethernet Optical Media Converters

Spitfire Ethernet Optical Media Converter

Moog Protokraft Spitfire series fiber optic Ethernet media converters consist of optoelectronic transmitter and receiver functions integrated along with the 10/100Base-TX to 100Base-FX or 1000Base-T electrical to 1000Base-SX optical media conversion circuitry into a bulkhead mounted MIL-DTL-38999 connector assembly.

Spitfire series wall mounted Fast or Gigabit Ethernet media converters enable high speed network communications over long distances in harsh environments. The multimode MIL-DTL-38999 optical fiber cable interface supports applications where copper cable link distance, bandwidth, weight or bulk make the use of twisted pair, twinax or quadrax copper conductors unacceptable. The electrical interface to the Spitfire series optical media converters is a ribbon coax to Samtec® EQCD high density cable assembly enabling SMT interconnection to a customer’s backplane, motherboard or daughtercard.
