KD announced the first implementation of its 10GBASE-AU KD7251 optical transceiver into an optical automotive multigigabit camera, LI-VENUS-ISX031-BASE-AU, from Leopard Imaging. Corning Incorporated designed and developed a hybrid cable and connector system. By upgrading the existing wide angle camera system from a traditional GMSL2 copper interface to an optical fiber-based 10GBASE-AU link that is compliant with IEEE 802.3cz, the new system delivers scalable data communications up to 10 Gb/s. This provides a future-enabling solution to meet the challenging network requirements of automotive applications, digital video recording, and machine vision. A demonstration of the camera will be available at the KD stand at ECOC, where you can see it in action.
