Applications
Why Formerica?
TAA (Trade Agreement Act) and NDAA (National Defense Authorization Act) Compliant –
• TAA requires Country of Origin to be “USA” or “USA Friendly” countries, which includes Taiwan
• NDAA bans specific video surveillance camera mfrs, SoC, systems vendors, and component suppliers from being purchased or used in US government deployments
• US Government related deployments require TAA and NDAA products or components for cybersecurity
• Formerica is TAA and NDAA compliant
• Competitors manufacture in Non-TAA compliant countries and may not be NDAA compliant
NO CHINA TARIFF
Increased efficiency lowers power consumption and saves money: cuts cooling and energy cost, lessens thermal challenge
Extended Temperature Range- Offers wider operational temperature range; reduces part count and inventory, and provides higher reliability
Lower Total Cost of Ownership- reduced inventory & utility costs, for lowest operational expense
Broad optical solutions beyond transceivers- SDI & OBM are not offered by Finisar or Avago/FOIT
Compliance:
ISO 9001, ISO 14001, TL 9000, RoHS, TAA (Made in Taiwan)
Design Considerations
• What type of APPLICATION?
• What DATA RATE are you running?
• What FORM FACTOR do you use?
• What transmission DISTANCE is required?
• What cable length is required if for AOC and AOC Fanout?
• What WAVELENGTH are you operating at?
• What are your TEMPERATURE requirements?
• Do you use SINGLE-MODE or MULTI-MODE (media type)?
• Is POWER CONSUMPTION and thermal dissipation an important issue for you?
Nomenclatures for Transmission Distances and Temperature Ratings
Temperature Ratings: CT/Commercial (0~70℃), IT/Industrial (-40~85℃), ET/Extended (-20~85℃)
