Connect
Ultra-high speed fiber communication for all
The Connect Series brings CMOS-based optical communication to everyday devices — delivering ready-to-deploy fiber links for USB, HDMI, DisplayPort, and MIPI. Engineered for efficiency, reliability, and cost, it enables plug-and-play optical connectivity across consumer, professional, and industrial products.
High-speed optical links for real-world connectivity
The Challenge
Copper interconnects are hitting limits in speed and density — signal loss, heat, EMI, and cable bulk all compound as data rates climb.
The Approach
Connect keeps the interface standards unchanged and replaces only the physical layer, using a CMOS-based optical link instead of copper for high-speed, low-loss transmission.
Connect platform
Pure fiber and hybrid AOC solution for HDMI/DP/USB.
Low-power operation with intelligent idle modes delivers greener performance across consumer and professional devices.
Lightweight, flexible, long-distance optical links provide affordable high-speed connectivity across a wide range of applications.
Industry-leading interoperability ensures smooth performance across platforms, devices, and usage scenarios.
