SCFF 1-TRX 10G & 25G NRZ (RUGGED) Size, efficiency & versatility all the way to 28GbpsThe rugged SCFF ("Small Cubical Form Factor") is a 1-channel duplex multi-mode (850nm) on-board transceiver with a 12pin electrical interface (SMT) complying specification SFF-8431 for high speed interfaces. It operates at data-rates up to 25Gbps in harsh environment: - Operating case temperature: (-40°C;+85°C)
- Shock: (500g; 1ms) per MIL STD-883 Method 2002.4
- Vibration: (20g, 20-2000Hz) per MIL STD-883 Method 2007.3
The SCFF series has first been introducted in 2009 for 10Gbps speeds as the very first small form factor transceiver. A new rugged version of the SCFF has been developed by Amphenol in 2019 to answer the needs for increased data-rates (25Gbps) and harsh-environment applications. The rugged SCFF is a “chip-on-board” transceiver leveraging state of the art 25Gbps chipsets from the data-com industry (VCSEL drivers, TIA, VCSEL, PIN Diodes). The rugged SCFF is mounted on a PCB using two screws and is solder-mount on the rear connector. Its height has been optimized to be lower than 10mm above the PCB to fit the state-of-the art electronic casings. | FEATURES: - Small Cubic Form Factor (SCFF): half the area of an SFP+
