Specifications
The 10Gbps 1550nm XFP Optical Transceiver is a high-performance module designed for long-range optical communication over single-mode fiber (SMF) up to 40 kilometers. It supports data rates ranging from 9.95Gbps to 11.1Gbps and integrates a 1550nm cooled EML laser and a PIN photodiode receiver for superior optical performance. Encased in an XFP MSA package with a duplex LC connector, this transceiver is ideal for applications such as SONET OC-192/SDH STM-64, 10GE Ethernet, and 10G Fiber Channel networks. The module complies with IEEE 802.3ae standards and features digital diagnostic functions accessible via a 2-wire serial interface.
Operating on both +5V and +3.3V power supplies, the transceiver is energy-efficient with a power dissipation of less than 3.5W. It is designed for commercial use, with an operating temperature range from -5°C to 70°C. The module’s robust construction ensures stable operation across a variety of network environments and complies with RoHS standards for environmentally friendly design.
Optically, the transceiver offers a center wavelength range of 1530nm to 1565nm. It delivers an average output power of -1dBm to +2dBm with an extinction ratio of 8.2dB. The receiver has a sensitivity of -12.3dBm and a saturation power of +0.5dBm, supporting wavelengths from 1270nm to 1600nm. Advanced features such as Loss of Signal (LOS) detection enhance diagnostic capabilities, with LOS asserted at -30dBm and deasserted at -16dBm.
Electrically, the module supports a differential input impedance of 100Ω, with input swing differentials from 180mV to 700mV. It features advanced diagnostic capabilities, including real-time monitoring of temperature, voltage, bias current, and optical power. Alarm and warning thresholds ensure optimal operation within factory-set parameters.
In summary, the 10Gbps 1550nm XFP Optical Transceiver is a reliable and efficient solution for high-speed, long-distance networking. Its robust design, advanced features, and compliance with industry standards make it an essential component for modern telecommunications and data center infrastructures.
