Hamamatsu Photonics has developed an optical transceiver P16671-01AS that achieves fiber-optic communications at a data transmission speed of 1.25 Gbps (gigabits per second). We did this by applying our unique design technology based on opto-semiconductor manufacturing technology fostered over the years.

Compared to our current optical link products whose maximum data transmission speed is 150 Mbps, the P16671-01AS offers a significantly higher speed. It also provides standard-compliant optical connectors that attach to the preferred optical fibers, depending on the application. For short-distance board-to-board communication within the equipment, the P16671-01AS is usable with inexpensive POF (plastic optical fibers) achieving high-speed data communication at a low cost. Also, using it along with HPCF (hard plastic clad fibers) or large-diameter glass optical fibers extends the data transmission distance up to 100 meters making it ideal for setting up a network or communicating between devices or equipment.

The P16671-01AS optical transceiver will be available from February 13, 2023 to domestic and overseas manufacturers of medical equipment, scientific and laboratory instruments, and semiconductor manufacturing equipment.
