25G BOA - Board-Mount Optical Assembly
Use our 25G BOAs for storage, data, and high-performance computing connectivity, where it provides a compact, high-bandwidth optical interconnect.
The BOA is a parallel transceiver that transmits up to 28 Gb/s data over a multimode fiber (MMF) ribbon cable. It is designed to be mounted directly onto a host board, close to the host ASIC, improving signal integrity and decreasing power consumption.
