Product Specifications

The 10Gbps 1550nm SFP+ Optical Transceiver is a high-performance module designed for ultra-long-distance data transmission over single-mode fiber (SMF) up to 120 kilometers. It supports data rates ranging from 9.95Gbps to 11.3Gbps and features a 1550nm cooled CML transmitter and an APD photo-detector. Encased in a hot-pluggable SFP+ form factor with a duplex LC connector, this transceiver is fully compliant with SFF-8431, SFF-8432, and IEEE 802.3ae 10GBASE-ZR standards. Integrated digital diagnostic monitoring, as specified by SFF-8472, enables real-time tracking of key operating parameters.

The module operates on a single +3.3V power supply, consuming less than 1.8W, and is designed for commercial environments with a case operating temperature range of 0°C to 70°C. Its RoHS compliance underscores its environmentally friendly design, and the compact form factor facilitates easy upgrades and installation with low electromagnetic interference (EMI) emissions.

Optically, the transceiver delivers exceptional performance with a center wavelength range of 1530nm to 1565nm. The transmitter supports an average output power range of 0dBm to +5dBm, an extinction ratio of 8.2dB, and a transmitter dispersion penalty (TDP) of 3.0dB. The receiver offers a sensitivity of -24dBm, with a saturation power of -7dBm and a loss of signal (LOS) detection range from -34dBm to -24dBm. These characteristics ensure high-quality, reliable signal transmission and reception over extended distances.

Electrically, the module is equipped with a differential input impedance of 100Ω, supporting input swing differentials from 180mV to 700mV. The receiver delivers output swing differentials between 300mV and 850mV. Timing parameters, such as TX_Disable Assert and Negate Times, meet stringent specifications to support fast and reliable network operations.

Digital diagnostic monitoring provides precise measurements of temperature, voltage, bias current, and optical power, with built-in alarms for deviations from optimal performance thresholds. The transceiver complies with international safety and EMC standards, including Class 1 laser safety regulations, ensuring both operational reliability and user safety.

In summary, the 10Gbps 1550nm SFP+ Optical Transceiver is a robust, efficient, and versatile solution for long-distance optical communication. Its advanced design and adherence to industry standards make it an essential component for high-performance networking applications.

The CT-SFP+XZR is a high-performance hot-pluggable SFP+ transceiver designed for 10G Ethernet, SONET/SDH, and 10G Fibre Channel applications. It operates from 9.95 to 11.3 Gb/s, converting electrical serial signals into optical output at 1550 nm and vice versa. The module supports links up to 120 km without dispersion compensation, consuming less than 1.8 W from a +3.3 V supply. It integrates digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM) via I²C (SFF-8472) and complies with SFF-8431/8432 and IEEE 802.3ae 10GBASE-ZR standards.
