Advantages of this technology are wear-resistance, high noise immunity combined with excellent EMC-qualities, high reliability and bit error rates of <10^-13. The data channels are available in a multitude of variations as single-channel (unidirectional / bidirectional) or multi-channel versions. The GigaCap® channels consisting of transmitter and receiver are available with an electrical (ECL/PECL) or with optical interfaces for the connection of fiber optic cables. The data transmission is transparent to protocol and electrically insulated. Because of the increasing need for high speed data, the application of standard protocols is becoming interesting. With this technology, for example, the transmission of fiber channel and Gigabit Ethernet is possible without any problem. This way, the system integration of the data channels is being simplified as components (COTS) from the IT-marketplace can be used. The modular design allows for quick and easy adaptation to suit customer specific applications.
