The SNAP12 series parallel optical transceiver module is designed for short-distance high-speed data communication and parallel optical interconnects, such as optical backplanes, server-to-storage array connections, and radar processing systems. The SNAP12 family of optical embedded transceivers are affordable, reliable, high-performance embedded optical transceivers with bandwidth up to 120 Gbps. These modules are well suited for high-bandwidth commercial aerospace systems with the added benefit of reducing aircraft wiring and system. SNAP12 is a 12-channel pluggable parallel optical module with an MPO connector for high-speed data transmission. It is an electrical to optical converter, which requires no internal fiber management platform.
