Provider of fiber optic measurement and test equipment, GAO Fiber Optics has introduced the new CWDM GBIC optical transceiver that is used for CWDM networks, switch-to-switch interface; high speed I/O for file servers, and gigabit Ethernet links.
CWDM Optical Transceiver
The 0XX132 optical transceiver offers a cost efficient tool for optical networking device manufacturers to support the growing needs of higher bandwidth device build-outs.
The 0XX132 optical transceiver has a hot-pluggable duplex SC connector, and an APD receiver, which has a power budget of 32dB. The optical transceiver offers 18 center wavelengths ranging from 1270 to 1610nm. The module features a 20nm channel spacing that enables un-cooled laser functioning.
The PECL logic interface of the transceiver makes the interface to external circuitry simple. The device complies with Telcordia GR-468-CORE, and ITU-T G.694.2 standards. It is also compliant with the Rev.5.5 Gigabit interface converter and the IEEE-802.3 specifications.
