  • Cost of anti-ESD active optical components for safe city applications

    Cost of anti-ESD active optical components for safe city applications

    Damage from ESD is a major cost to the microcircuit industry in terms of time, money, and mission risk. The EEE Parts Bulletin has released three special issues on ESD, and this issue is a compendium of these three issues plus an overall view of the subject matter. Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) safe materials combine the mechanical properties of high-performance plastics with controlled electrical conductivity. Our precision manufacturing delivers ESD-safe parts that prevent damaging static electricity buildup in sensitive electronics manufacturing, aerospace. The copper-based approach is considered a bottleneck for further improvements in data transfer capacity. Optical communication can dramatically increase the bandwidth between servers while reducing complexity, power consumption, and cost. Easy to install, clean, and maintain, it provides a safe, compliant surface for any workspace. Therefore, the operating conditions pose the greatest challenge.

  • Selection Guide for SFP Optical Modulators for Oil and Petrochemical Applications

    Selection Guide for SFP Optical Modulators for Oil and Petrochemical Applications

    This guide helps network and cabling engineers choose the right form factor (SFP, SFP+, SFP28, QSFP28, and friends) for IEEE-aligned optics, real reach, and switch compatibility. You will also get a field-ready troubleshooting checklist and a quick cost view. Oil and gas (O&G) explorations moving into deeper zones for enhanced oil and gas recovery are causing serious safety concerns across the world. The sensing of critical multiple parameters like high pressure, high temperature (HPHT), chemicals, etc., are required at longer distances in real-time. Optical modulators are devices that modify the properties of light, such as its amplitude, phase, frequency, or polarization, in response to an external signal. Light is confined to the core by total internal reflection at the boundary between the core and cladding (which has a lower refractive index). Use Case: Long distance, campus backbone, datacenter interconnect. SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) optical modules are compact, hot-pluggable transceivers that enable network equipment to connect seamlessly to fiber and copper links. It is also known as a small form-factor pluggable or mini GBIC.
