The FibreXtreme Serial FPDP (SFPDP) data link system connects distributed devices through a highly specialized communications protocol (VITA 17.1-2003) optimized for maximum data throughput. Data transfers occur without the CPU overhead and non-deterministic latencies associated with many layers of complex protocols. The Multi-Channel SL100/SL240 Serial FPDP boards support 1 or 2 full speed channels of ANSI/VITA 17.1-2003 Serial FPDP protocol data. Our SL240 Series operates at 2.5 Gbit/sec, resulting in sustained throughputs up to 247 MB/sec on each channel! The SL100 Series, operating at a 1.062 Gbit/sec Baud Rate, offers sustained data throughput of 105 MB/sec on each channel. The Multi-Channel SL100/SL240 boards are available in PCI and PMC form factors. 

Applications

The FibreXtreme SL100/SL240 boards are ideal for point-to-point or broadcast communications between any sensor and a processor. Typical Serial FPDP applications include: 

• Radar/Sonar

• SIGINT/ELINT

• Digital Signal Processing (DSP)

• Medical Imaging

• Video production

In today's demanding high-throughput applications, the smallest delays in data transfers can mean the difference between success and failure. FibreXtreme is designed specifically to help ensure that these critical applications succeed!

In applications where simultaneous, parallel processing is desired, a single source card can transmit data to multiple destination cards through our Physical Layer Switches. Our GLX4000 unit is a 144-port or 288-port physical layer switch that can copy any input signal to any number of outputs.

Ruggedized products for rugged environments

The opportunities for high-bandwidth, low-latency data communication are not limited to commercial computing applications. Many mission-critical, operational systems, ranging from cleanroom settings to extremely harsh environments, can also benefit from the advantages of FibreXtreme's unique technology. However, these systems may be exposed to a wide variety of conditions ranging from cleanroom settings to extremely harsh environments that subject system components to additional shock, vibration and humidity and extended temperature ranges.

To meet a variety of these operational requirements, FibreXtreme Serial FPDP data link products are available in specially modified configurations designed to meet specific operational needs. Be sure to ask us about the availability of boards for your particular application.
