Developer of photonic integrated circuit (PIC) based components, NeoPhotonics has launched its new Compact SFP (C-SFP) transceiver series at the China International Optoelectronic Exposition 2010.
The C-SFP transceivers integrate two Gigabit Ethernet, or bi-directional (BiDi) Fast Ethernet transceivers, into one SFP package. These modules are available in industrial (-40°C to +85°C) and commercial (0°C to 70°C) temperature grades.
The low power and compact design of the C-SFP transceiver enables the system providers to increase the port density by two times, on the access line cards. The C-SFP adds value to NeoPhotonics' existing family of Bi-Directional modules, which are designed for the access networks, and are used in customer premises equipment and central offices.
The C-SFP transceiver includes two separate LC connectors for each BiDi transceiver. It supports link distances of 10 - 20km, as well as data rates of 1Gbps for Gigabit Ethernet, and 100Mbps for Fast Ethernet. The Compact SFP module's pin-out works with the traditional SFP transceivers. The monitoring functionalities of the transceiver enable to locate the fault early, to minimize the down time.
NeoPhotonics will display its Compact SFP transceiver module product line, together with its passive PIC and transceiver solutions at the exposition, from September 6 to 9.
