Rugged transceivers

Rugged transceivers are intrinsically robust making them the ideal choice for the most demanding environment. The sealed optical path guarantees optimum performances over high temperature and humidity ranges. LightABLE™ based products can be surface mounted and meet the strictest shock and vibration requirements for industrial and military applications.
