Phantom X20 Product Description
The X20-Phantom is a quad 2.5 Gbps transceiver for bi-directional optical data communications over multimode ribbon fiber links up to 600 m. The transceiver performs the electrical-to-optical and optical-to-electrical conversions for parallel optic data transmission and has four transmit channels and four receiver channels operating over 8 independent fibers within a single cable.

Designed for harsh environment applications such as military avionics and satellites, the X20-Phantom operates through an extended temperature range as well as thermal cycling, shock, vibration, humidity, salt fog and radiation.
 
Phantom X20

The X20-Phantom mounts to a PCB with standard 0.5 mm pitch gull-wing leads. It features a pigtailed ribbon fiber interface with a male MTP connector. Custom pigtail configurations are available.

Built-in test (BIT) and diagnostic monitoring is accomplished through a digital serial interface. BIT features include:

 Bullet  Per channel Transmit Signal Strength Indicator (TSSI)
 Bullet  Per channel Receiver Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI)
 Bullet  Fault status, VCSEL bias, and temperature
 Bullet  OTDR to isolate fiber faults (in development)
