Assignee: FEND INCORPORATED
Field: Audio-visual technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 18:
19. A data diode, comprising:
a housing;
a printed circuit board, disposed within the housing;
a data diode chip, mounted on the printed circuit board, comprising:
a substrate for the chip comprising a first portion and a second portion;
an input side disposed on a first portion of the substrate, comprising:
a first processing element;
a transmitter optical sub-assembly, coupled to the first processing element; and

an output side disposed on a second portion of the substrate, comprising:
a second processing element; and
a receiver optical sub-assembly, coupled to the second processing element,

wherein the transmitter optical sub-assembly and the receiver optical sub-assembly provide a one-way data bridge coupled between the first processing element and the second processing element that allows data flow from the first processing element to the second processing element and physically prohibits data flow from the second processing element to the first processing element;

a first connector, coupled to the first portion of the data diode chip, configured for communication with a data source; and
a second connector, coupled to the second portion of the data diode chip, configured for communication with a data destination.
