Inspired by the gecko's broken tail, Xinrui Technology's R&D team creatively developed a product that separates the parallel module from the fiber. After two years and millions of dollars in investment, they successfully developed a product with separate parallel modules and fiber pigtails. The Gecko Structure, a mythical Chinese beast, represents the purest of the nine dragon sons. The project leader named this product series the "Gecko Structure," symbolizing its purity and dedication. The relevant patent was obtained in 2024 (Patent No.: ZL 2024 1 1365548.6).
The Gecko Structure optical module, by separating the module from the fiber, offers significant advantages in flexibility, maintenance efficiency, cost control, and high-density deployment. It is particularly well-suited for modern optical communication networks with stringent requirements for bandwidth, reliability, and scalability. Its modular design aligns with the future trend of intelligent and reconfigurable optical networks.
Application Features: Reduces user concerns about fiber breakage and maintenance costs; easily standardizes parallel modules; significantly reduces the number of parallel module models; and reduces overall management costs.

Background on the Development of GigacF Technology's Gecko Structure Parallel Optical Modules:
In modern defense equipment systems, optical modules are core components for high-speed data transmission. Their reliability, compatibility, and maintenance efficiency directly impact operational effectiveness. Addressing the five major industry pain points of traditional parallel optical modules:
Model redundancy: Fiber length discrepancies lead to a surge in SKUs (typically, managing over 20 models).
Inefficient maintenance: A fiber break requires complete module replacement (industry average scrap rate >35%).
Inventory pressure: Stocking modules with multiple fiber lengths occupies warehouse resources (inventory turnover rate <1.2 times/year).
Delivery delays: Customized production cycles can take up to 6-8 weeks.
Unified model dilemma: Insufficient cross-system device interface compatibility.
Facing these industry pain points, Gigac Technology, leveraging its deep technical expertise and innovative spirit, forged a new path. Inspired by the remarkable regeneration of geckos' tails, the R&D team boldly proposed the innovative concept of separating parallel modules from optical fibers. After two years of arduous R&D and millions of dollars in investment, they successfully launched the "Gecko Structure" series of optical modules, featuring separate parallel modules and pigtails.
The Gecko Structure, the purest of the nine dragon sons in ancient Chinese mythology, symbolizes innocence and focus. The project leader named the product after this, signifying the product series's unwavering pursuit of excellence. Notably, this product series received patent certification in 2024 (patent number: ZL 2024 1 1365548.6), demonstrating Gigac Technology's strong technical capabilities and innovative value in the optical communications field.
