Optical Interface for Industry 4.0 Vision Applications

New multimode fiber optic transceivers save space and power



Yokowo’s miniature fiber optic transceivers and connectors significantly reduce space (by up to 90%) and now combine signal and power transmission to simplify design and installation. The user-friendly fiber optic solutions reduce power consumption and heat generation, simplifying vision system designs.

Reduce Space. Reduce Power. Improve Resolution.

At 1/10th the size of traditional SFP+ transceivers, Yokowo Electrical Optical Complex (EOC Type) multimode optical transceivers combine high speed data transmission up to 30m when used with an electrical line at 12.5 Gbps with power transmission (2A current rating). Higher speeds up to 50 Gbps can be achieved with the Electrical/Optical Hybrid transceiver when used with Yokowo's uni-directional transmission connectors. Combining signal and power in one hybrid solution further simplifies vision system design, lowering the cost, and enabling a smaller, lighter solution.

  • 1/10th the size of SFP+ transceivers
  • EOC optical transceivers require only 150mW compared to traditional optical transceiver solutions
  • The hybrid solution reduces power consumption, reduces heat generation within the vision system housing
  • High speed data transmission 300m (30m when used with an electrical line)

Electrical Optical Complex Transceiver


At about 1/3 the size of traditional SFP+ transceivers, Yokowo LC Type multimode transceivers are compatible with LC connectors. This offers more cost savings as installers can use existing LC optical cables.

  • 1/3 the size of SFP+ transceivers
  • LC Type transceivers offer low power consumption of 150mW to reduce heat in the vision system
  • High speed data transmission 300m
  • Compatible with existing LC optical cables offering more cost savings
  • Metal housing version is also available for robust application (LC Type M)

Yokowo transceivers have several cable options including vertical screw type, horizontal screw type and no screw type.

Future versions will include a 25 Gbps optical transceiver with the same size and electrical interface as EOC Type and LC Type. In addition,SN Type, a CXP-12 compliant, 50 Gbps, 4-channel optical transceiver at 40% the size of a QSFP+ will also be available.
