The NG-TRx is a high-performance board-mount optical transceiver designed for demanding NAVAIR/NAVSEA harsh-environment applications. This transceiver is engineered to handle data rates of up to 10Gbps at 1300nm across four channels. The NG-TRx integrates the interface attributes found in NGCON and ARINC 801 while incorporating proven opto-electrical transceiver components.

The NG-TRx allows for the insertion of a standard NGCON termini or ARINC 801 using commonly available insertion and removal tools. This ensures a rugged and reliable fiber interface, providing a secure connection that guarantees fault-free operation in the harshest environments.

• Four optical channels:
  • Each can be configured as either a fiber optic transmitter or receiver
  • Each can support 850nm multi-mode, 1310nm single-mode,
    or 1300 multi-mode
• Protocol agnostic - can support encoded or pathological data
• Supports data rates from 25 Mbps to 10.3125 Gbps
• MIL-PRF-62466 or ARINC 801 for MIL-PRF-29504/18
  industry-standard fiber termini interface
• Onboard monitor for status and diagnostics (I2C)
• Operating temperature range: -40 °F (-40°C) to 185 °F (85 °C)
• Transmit enable pin for any and all transmitters
• LOS pin for any and all receivers
• Fault pin – for various errors
