Molex's low-profile, 12-fiber VersaBeam POD (parallel optical device module) Cable Assemblies (also known as PRIZM LightTurn cable assemblies) are designed to mate to Avago Technologies' 120 Gbps MicroPOD and MiniPOD parallel optic modules. The 1.80 mm jacketed-round and bare-fiber-ribbon cable assemblies perpendicularly mate to the top of the optical modules, providing simple assembly and optimum airflow on the PCB. Multiple 12-fiber VersaBeam interconnects can be consolidated to a single I/O assembly on the front or back panel by using either 24-, 48-, or 72-fiber MT ferrules in Molex's high-density interconnects including HBMT, Array, and Circular MT connectors.
| Features and Benefits |
|
|
- Innovative perpendicular mating interface with Avago Technologies' parallel optical modules for board-mounted, row, or clustered layouts
