Multifibre bus for rack-to-rack interconnects based on opto-hybrid transmitter/receiver array pair

A demonstration of a system for optical rack-to-rack interconnects based on opto-hybrid array transmitter and receiver modules is reported. A six-channel interconnection at 700 Mbit/s per channel is reported and the transmitter array alone operates to 1 Gbit/s per channel. These modules are believed to be among the most complex opto-hybrids reported to date.
