A new transceiver for 10GBASE-SR XENPAK applications
The transmitter section incorporates a 1550nm FP laser diode and the receiver section uses an integrated indium gallium arsenide detector preamplifier
GAO Comm has released a 10GBASE-SR XENPAK transceiver which can be used in switches and modules that support XENPAK transceivers.
10GBASE-SR XENPAK fibre optic transceiver
This company says its high performance 10GBASE-SR XENPAK transceiver, model C018XX01, is a fully integrated 10.3Gbit/s optical transceiver module that consists of an 850 nm wavelength optical transmitter and receiver, XAUI interface, Mux and Demux with clock and data recovery (CDR).
It is hot Z-pluggable and features up to 10.3 GBd bi-directional data links and RoHS compliance.
This transceiver uses an 850 nm VCSEL laser diode to achieve a transmission distance of up to 300 m over 50/125 multi-mode fibre. It also allows for MDIO and DOM and has SC connectors.
This 10GBASE-SR XENPAK transceiver belongs to GAO’s family of Extreme compatible transceivers. This line includes a wide variety of Extreme compatible transceivers such as Extreme Compatible 10GBASE-ER XENPAK Transceivers.
The latest addition to the family uses a cooled 1550 nm EML laser diode to achieve a transmission distance of up to 40 km over standard single mode fibre, and an Extreme Compatible 1000Base-LX GBIC Transceiver. This consists of a transmitter section incorporating an advanced FP laser diode and a receiver section which has an integrated InGaAs detector preamplifier (IDP) mounted in an optical header and a limiting post-amplifier IC.
