Austin, TX – 4DSP today introduced the new FMC410 FPGA Mezzanine Card (FMC) which offers ten independent optical transmit and receive links with maximum data rates of either 6.25Gbps or 10Gbps. This COTS card features separate transmitter and receiver modules and provides high port density. The FMC410 can be used as a dual 10Gb or dual 40Gb Ethernet port, and it provides high-speed optical input and output for telecommunications, data networking, data storage, and ultra-high-definition video applications. It also offers front panel I/O access and can be used in a conduction-cooled environment.
“Thanks to the FMC410, system integrators can now choose a cost effective COTS module to provide parallel high-speed optical input and output to their systems,” said 4DSP application engineer Erik Barhorst. “This will be the answer to the ever-increasing demand for more bandwidth in such applications as cloud computing, data storage centers, 4K video, and signal processing systems where the standard copper interconnects fall short.”
The FMC410 is electrically and mechanically compliant to the FMC standard (ANSI/VITA 57.1) except for its height. This daughter card is 3.4 mm higher than the maximum component height of 9.5 mm specified by the FMC standard. The FMC410 is therefore equipped with a connector that provides a stacking height of 13.5 mm instead of the standard 10 mm. The card can still be used without issues on many FPGA carrier cards and FPGA development platforms.
