LightABLE™ SR4 Transceiver BRIEF LH series
The Reflex Photonics 40Gbps
LightABLE™ SR4 LH series Transceiver
Industrial, Extended and Commercial
Temperature Range
Product Summary
The Reflex Photonics LightABLE™ SR4 Optical
Transceiver includes 4 transmit and 4 receive
channels in a parallel fiber configuration. It supports
up to 41.25 Gbps full duplex.
The LightABLE™ SR4 Pluggable/Surface Mount
Optical Engine is a low-profile parallel transceiver.
The optical engines can be mounted directly upon a
high-speed printed circuit board via surface mount
technology or attached via a pluggable connector.
Short electrical traces from the Host ASIC connect
high-speed electrical data signals to the Reflex
LightABLE™ SR4 optical engine.
The Reflex LightABLE
™
SR4 optical engine’s self-
contained design makes it simple to add to any
application which can benefit from high-speed,
short-reach optical connectivity.
