TE Connectivity NanoRF Optical Hybrid Modules

TE Connectivity’s (TE) NanoRF Optical Hybrid Modules offer an 85GHz maximum rated frequency and 50Ω impedance rating. These modules use a floating insert in the backplane with guide features that pre-align contacts before engaging, reducing the potential for damage. NanoRF modules provide high-density RF and optical connections within a common connector module for VPX-based embedded computer systems. TE NanoRF Optical Hybrid Modules are suitable for electronic warfare, missile guidance, tactical communication, and radar applications.
