25G BOA - Board-Mount Optical Assembly
Use our 25G BOAs for storage, data, and high-performance computing connectivity, where it provides a compact, high-bandwidth optical interconnect.
The BOA is a parallel transceiver that transmits up to 28 Gb/s data over a multimode fiber (MMF) ribbon cable. It is designed to be mounted directly onto a host board, close to the host ASIC, improving signal integrity and decreasing power consumption.
25G BOA – Some Key Details
Use the BOA as a 12-channel full-duplex transceiver for rates from 1 Gb/s up to 28.1 Gb/s per channel. It is TE-MBOM pin compatible with a maximum link length of 70 m at 25 Gb/s.
