Product Specifications

The 10Gbps 1550nm XFP Optical Transceiver is a robust and efficient solution designed for long-range data communication over single-mode fiber (SMF) up to 80 kilometers. This transceiver supports data rates ranging from 9.95Gbps to 11.1Gbps, making it suitable for applications such as 10GBASE-LR/LW Ethernet, SONET/SDH, and 10G Fiber Channel. Housed in a hot-pluggable XFP form factor with a duplex LC connector, it integrates an uncooled 1550nm EML laser and a PIN photodiode for high-performance optical communication. It complies with the XFP Multi-Source Agreement (MSA) and incorporates built-in digital diagnostic functions for enhanced monitoring.

Operating on +3.3V and +5V power supplies, the transceiver consumes less than 2.5W, making it energy efficient. It is designed for commercial environments with an operating temperature range of 0°C to 70°C, ensuring reliable performance across varied conditions. Its compact and hot-pluggable design enables high port density and ease of deployment in modern network systems.

Optically, the transmitter provides an average output power range of 0dBm to +5dBm and operates at a wavelength range of 1530nm to 1565nm. The extinction ratio is 6dB, ensuring clear signal differentiation. The receiver offers a sensitivity of -24dBm and a maximum input power of +0.5dBm, supporting reliable reception over extended distances. Diagnostic features such as Loss of Signal (LOS) detection provide real-time feedback on link integrity, enhancing operational reliability.

Electrically, the transceiver features a differential impedance of 100Ω, with input swing differentials ranging from 120mV to 820mV. The module integrates advanced diagnostic capabilities, accessible via a two-wire serial interface, enabling real-time monitoring of temperature, voltage, bias current, and optical power. Alarm thresholds are implemented for proactive maintenance and network optimization.

In summary, the 10Gbps 1550nm XFP Optical Transceiver is a reliable and efficient solution for high-speed, long-distance optical communication. Its advanced optical and electrical specifications, combined with compliance to industry standards, make it a valuable component for modern telecommunications and data networking infrastructures.

This hot-pluggable XFP module supports data rates from 9.95 to 11.1 Gbps and complies with IEEE 802.3ae 10GBASE-LR/LW, SONET OC-192, and Fibre Channel 1200-SM-LL-L standards. It operates up to 80 km over SMF using a duplex LC connector. The design includes a 1550 nm uncooled EML laser, PIN photodiode receiver, and digital diagnostics monitoring. It supports both +5 V and +3.3 V power supplies, with <2.5 W power dissipation. Operating case temperature is 0 °C to +70 °C.
