Linear Encoders
-
Linear encoders measure the position of linear axes without intervening mechanical elements. This eliminates a series of potential error sources such as backlash, pitch error, or heating of the recirculating ball screw. Wherever rigorous position accuracy and high machining speeds are needed, linear encoders are essential.

Linear Interferometer
10702A
Linear Interferometer
The 10702A includes one 10703A Retroreflector as a reference reflector. A second 10703A is needed to complete the linear measurement optic set. The interferometer cannot be used to bend the beam. If the interferometer is the moving component, the 10702A Option 001 must be ordered. More about the 10703A Retroreflector

Linear Equalizers
-
Macom Technology Solutions Holdings Inc.
MACOM offers high-performance linear equalizers for use in high speed copper connections for Ethernet, InfiniBand and Fibre Channel. The product line supports NRZ and PAM-4 multi-level signal connectivity and builds upon MACOM’s long-standing expertise in equalizers for broadcast video applications. The equalizers can support up to 112Gbps per lane data rates for 50 Gbps to 800 Gbps copper cable assemblies. In addition to copper cables, the linear equalizer can be used for wired backplane and on-board applications. Adding linear equalization to a passive copper cable can enable the same copper cable to carry higher data rates for longer distances. MACOM’s new linear equalizer product line can extend a typical copper cable’s performance to 7.5 meters at 56 Gbps and 5 meters at 112 Gbps data rates. Customers can consider active copper cables as an alternative to passive copper cables or active optical cables. Key benefits include low power consumption from a single 3.3V supply, low latency, hardware and microcontroller management modes. The products are suitable for SFP, QSFP, QSFP-DD and OSFP connector form factors.
