Low-EMI transceiver enables high port
density

A new fibre-optic transceiver enables network equipment manufacturers to integrate more than 600 transceivers into their systems - by far the highest port-density figure in the industry.

A new fibre-optic transceiver enables network equipment manufacturers to integrate more than 600 Agilent transceivers into their systems - by far the highest port-density figure in the industry The new transceiver, which provides high-speed data transport for Gigabit Ethernet and iSCSI (Internet protocol small computer system interface) applications, delivers the industry's lowest electromagnetic interference (EMI) emissions

Low EMI enables NEMs to design systems with transceivers packed more closely together, resulting in smaller, more economical network equipment.

With the introduction of the new HFBR-5911L pin through-hole (PTH) small form factor (SFF) transceiver, Agilent extends one of the industry's broadest lines of Ethernet transceivers, including SC-duplex, GBIC, MT-RJ, and LC connector options.

Agilent is the world's leader in fibre-optic transceivers and leads the Ethernet market for SFF transceivers.

"These new devices showcase our leading technology as well as our focus on customer needs", said Tom Fawcett, worldwide marketing manager for Agilent's Networking Solutions Division.

"We're delivering superior products in the form and styles needed by networking equipment leaders".

The Agilent HFBR-5911L operates at 3.3V, and uses a 850nm-wavelength oxide VCSEL (vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser) light source.

Agilent uses internally developed manufacturing and test procedures to deliver reliable, high-speed transceivers, that can be manufactured in high volumes.

The Agilent HFBR-5911L transceiver is currently available from Agilent and its distributor partners.

Agilent will continue its fibre-optic transceiver development, including Single-mode 1300nm laser solutions in both SFP and PTH packages, all planned to be available later this year. Request a free brochure from Avago Technologies ...
