An extended temperature version of Samtec's FireFly Active Optical Micro Flyover Cable Assembly has been released. The ETUO series supports temperature ranges of -40 to 85°C. The ETUO series shares the core features of Samtec’s existing ECUO series FireFly Active Optical Micro Flyover Cable Assembly. 

Both are designed for flexibility and are interchangeable with the FireFly Copper Micro Flyover Cable Assembly using the same connector system. However the extended temperature range of ETUO makes it suited for ruggedised applications.

The ETUO series is immediately available with 12-channel simplex or duplex configurations enabling 10.3125Gbps data rates per channel (123.75Gbps aggregate). Additional 4-channel simplex and duplex configurations with extended temperature are under development with a targeted Spring 2017 release.

Samtec tests the ETUO series to industry-standard ruggedised standards. All ETUO solutions provided demonstrated error-free transmission during MIL-STD-810G shock and vibration testing.

“Samtec’s new extended temperature FireFly Active Optical Micro Flyover Cable Assembly opens new markets and applications for mid-board optical systems,"  said Matt Burns, Technical Marketing Manager, Samtec. “FireFly can now be used in diverse applications such as commercial and military aviation, IFE, IR cameras and wireless backhaul instrumentation.”
