Research abstract
A critical problem inherent in the available commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) QSFP+, and related transceiver (TRX) modules, E/O connectors and interfaces, is that none are designed and manufactured per relevant military standards; and therefore, all will suffer routine and frequent failures in environments that induce high vibration, radiation and/or broad thermal operating conditions. These failures must be mitigated via a rugged-by-design and manufacture, drop-in replaceable QSFP+ optical transceiver (TX/RX) module alternative, i.e. the R-QSFP+ module proposed.
