Protokraft Sabre series high speed optoelectronic solutions consist of fiber optic transmitter or receiver
functions integrated into an environmentally sealed D38999 shell with a Souriau ELIO® optical interface per ARINC 818, 801, 803 & 804. The Sabre series optoelectronic transmitters and receivers have an ELIO® 2.5mm ceramic optical fiber ferrule connector interface per EN 4531 and ABS 1213 & 1379 and are intermateable with Souriau ELIO® size 09-01 connectors.

They are suitable for optical communications applications from 125Mbps to 4.25Gbps, with optical fiber link distances up to 550 meters. They have an operating temperature range from -55°C to +85°C, and are shock, vibration and ESD resistant per Mil-Std-810 and DO-160. Aluminum alloy D38999 shells are strong, durable, corrosion resistant and light weight.
