Fibre optics offers many advantages for harsh environment applications including high bandwidth, EMI immunity, minimal losses over long distances, reduced weight and wiring bulk and improved data security safety.
These attributes are particularly suited for medical imaging, aerospace, oil and gas and telecom products.
Optik-D’s ultra-low insertion loss of 0.06dB also means less optical power is required for connected devices compared to D-38999 or ARINC600-based systems, so it is more cost-effective. Optik-D is compatible with other ARINC 801 termini.
