Distributor Heilind now stocking FCI’s MergeOptics products

Heilind Electronics Inc of Wilmington, MA, USA, the largest distributor of interconnect products in North America, says that it is now stocking the MergeOptics products of FCI of Versailles, France, a manufacturer of high-density connectors and interconnect systems. FCI MergeOptics integrates optical components with high-frequency electrical circuits into one compact module.

MergeOptics’ portfolio features products that integrate vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL)-based optical components and high-performance photodiodes with high-frequency electrical circuits in compact modules and cable assemblies that are compliant with industry-standard optical and electrical interfaces, operating at speeds of 10Gb/s or higher.

The products are designed for use in datacoms, telecoms, lasers, modulators and photodiode applications in the optical communications industry as well as in the fiber and Ethernet markets. Applications include 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) datacom and storage-area networks (SAN/NAS) based on the IEEE802.3ae and Fibre Channel 10GFC Rev. 4.0 standards, as well as data centers and high-performance computing applications requiring short to moderate transmission lengths.

MergeOptics delivers what are described as efficient and flexible network management solutions that include X2, XFP, SFP+, QSFP and CXPO form factors and that meet the InfiniBand Trade Association (IBTA), Fibre Channel, 10G Ethernet and IEE 802.3 specifications.
