       Ever wondered what makes SFPs go? Wonder no longer.I need to print this out and hang it up in my lab to go along with the rest of the series, just need to take some measurements and figure out how large.(Art commissioned from Usanekorin from Collateral Damage Studios, not on fedi AFAIK)

       Doing a "tiny people make electronics go" piece of the inside of a SFP has been on my list for years I just had to figure out the composition that would work well.One day I had the idea to use a navy signal flasher as the TOSA and the rest just kinda fell into place after that.

       @penguin42 i mean they don't have differential outputs IRL but maybe there's a diff amp in the base or something... :p

       @azonenberg The fact that maritime traffic and the LC connector are both Right Hand Traffic pleases me.

       @azonenberg @penguin42 You're probably going to need to service it with some cleaner and some oil pretty often.

       @azonenberg @penguin42 Oh don't think I haven't considered bolting a LVDS driver to a morse key to make that a thing that happens! :)

       @azonenberg That is really nice and nerdy art!The AC coupled diffpairs for receiver and transmitter are a beautiful touch 😻

       @Toble_Miner well obviously... SFF-8431 requires ac coupling on the module
