Methode's Datamate Products Introduces Its Small Form-Factor Pluggable to HSSDC-2 Converter
Chicago, IL - dataMate Products, a division of Methode Electronics, Inc., introduces its Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) to HSSDC-2 Converter. The Converter is designed for use with Fibre Channel, Gigabit Ethernet, Infiniband, or any other application where an MSA-compliant SFP is used. The device is utilized to actively transmit and receive data between the HSSDC-2 copper interface and the SFP port.
dataMate's Converter is a high-speed, cost-effective interconnect solution for bi-directional serial communications up to 2.5 Gbps (over copper). The Converter is made of a nickel-plated die cast housing which provides exceptional EMI performance. Structural benefits include a "pull-to-release" bail latch actuator which provides easy release in tightly-spaced
applications, and a unique series of spring-loaded clips to ensure proper grounding when used with an EMI Cage (also available through dataMate). The Converter is hot swappable and provides serial ID functionality.
The SFP to HSSDC-2 Converter is just a part of dataMate's new line of Small Form-Factor Pluggable products, which also include the Active and Passive Patch Cord Assembly, the Copper Loopback, the SMT 20-Position Connector, and the EMI Cage. The Converter is
