Case Studies
Obsolescence Case Study - Renewable Energy Sector
A global renewable energy equipment manufacturer required an Avago Broadcom SFP Copper transceiver for a wind turbine project. The necessary part had been made obsolete by the OEM meaning they were not able to supply it. As an obsolescence specialist, ATGBICS were able to provide a compatible replacement ABCU-5741ARZ-C. After successful testing in the client’s laboratory simulation setup, they requested additional specification changes. The modification required enabling the TX_Disable function on pin 3 as an input to reset the internal ASIC. The modified unit was assigned a unique BOM for any future orders.
Bespoke Customisation - Aviation and Defence Sector
A global aviation company ordered a large quantity of Arista compatible Active Optical Cables (AOCs) through one of our distribution partners. During their onsite use, it became clear that there were some communication issues with the cables. After confirmation that the new dual coded units were functioning correctly, we collected and recoded the remaining balance of cables before returning them to the client and issuing a new BOM. The client has the same hardware across 14 sites globally, allowing our recoded BOM cables to be installed with confidence that there would be no further compatibility issues.
Obsolescence Case Study - Rail Sector
A national Scandinavian rail company approached us in their search for a drop in replacement of an Avago Broadcom® 1x9 Transceiver Module AFCT-5805CZ that has become obsolete with the OEM. After rigorous testing and a successful evaluation, Engineering teams are now authorised to roll out ATGBICS® AFCT-5805CZ-C compatible products across their network.
