Hi, We are starting to run some tests with one of the Cognitive Radio group's Fujitsu o-microGigaCN (o-MGC) fiber optic links. This unit is on loan and will need to be returned in a bit.
This consists of: Part number Serial number description FPD-010R008-OE 01B-06160045 CX4/FO transceiver, 850nm VCSEL, 3.3V FPD-010R008-OE 01A-05430042 CX4/FO transceiver, 850nm VCSEL, 3.3V FOC-CC10004 50/125um MMF 850nm wavelength approx 50ft optical interface is MPO connector electrical interface is microGiGaCN http://www.fujitsu.com/us/services/edevices/components/connectors/copper-modules These units are reportedly quite expensive; maybe $1K per link (2*$400+200). Shortly I'll work on getting revised information but back in April of 2005 I was told: Bob Thornton is the sales contact for the Fujitsu modules. His contact information is: Director of Marketing Fujitsu Components America, Inc bthorn...@fcai.fujitsu.com 408-745-4932 www.fcai.fujitsu.com He will be receiving the first production modules in the next several weeks. He estimates the prices to be: module $350; 3m patch cord $90. Lead time: 2-3 weeks. The attachments were provided, back in 2005, by Fujitsu. I haven't found them online. Oren is running through some tests now. Additional results will be distributed later. For now iBob->iBob seems aok. Connecting to the front of the BEE2s doesn't seem safe without re-machining the lower edge of the BEE2 chassis' front opening. BWRC folks designed this lower edge to be a "pinch bar" of sorts to help hold the CX4 cable assemblies in place. The FO unit becomes taller sooner than the WLGore CX4 cable assembly for example and thus the angle into the BEE2's infiniband 4x connectors looks to be too steep. We didn't try to force it in. There is no "pinch bar" of any type in the back of the chassis so there are no obstructions. Oren is trying those out now. iBob-> back of BEE2 OK back of BEE2 -> back of BEE2 OK back of BEE2 -> iBob OK Over the next few days we plan on testing more extensively.
