Hot-pluggable transceiver for Fibre Channel
Agilent Technologies has announced volume availability of its 2Gbit/s small-form-pluggable (SFP) fibre-optic transceiver for Fibre Channel storage area networks (SANs).
Initial deployments include 10km links over single-mode fibre between corporate campuses and between large corporate sites and the local telephone exchange.
The Agilent 10GBase-LR pluggable transceiver modules are compliant to rev 4.0 of the XFP multi-source agreement (MSA).
They feature the XFI serial interface along with superior thermal, EMI and 3.3V low power operation - all which enable the creation of higher-density, lower-cost line cards than XAUI (10GbE) transceivers and 300-pin (OC-192) transponders.

IR transceiver slims down to fit latest PDAs
Agilent Technologies has announced a new serial infra-red (SIR) transceiver that is ideal for new-generation personal information devices, such as PDAs, which are becoming increasingly thinner.
The Agilent modules are designed for single-mode fibre and operate at a nominal wavelength of 1310nm.
The modules' transmitter section uses an uncooled, directly modulated 1310nm distributed feedback laser.
The receiver section uses Agilent's MOVPE-grown planar SEDET PIN photo detector for low dark current and excellent responsiveness.
Integrated Tx and Rx eye openers provide high jitter-tolerance and low jitter-generation for full XFI compliance.
The internally AC-coupled high-speed serial I/O simplifies interfacing to external circuitry.
The electrical interface is made using an industry-standard 0.8mm pitch 30-pin right- angle connector, while the optical connection is made via the duplex LC connector.
The Agilent 10GBase-LR XFP product line also includes a comprehensive set of digital diagnostic features.
The 1310nm modules are offered in three versions.
The HFCT-711XPD supports Ethernet 10 GBase-LR (10km LAN PHY, 10.3125 Gbit/s); Fibre Channel 10Gbit serial PMD, type 1200-SM-LL-L, (10km 10.51875 Gbit/s); SONET/SDH (OC-192/STM-64 rate 9.9532Gbit/s); Telcordia GR-253-CORE SR-1; and ITU-T G.691 STM64 I64.1.
The HFCT-721XPD is an Ethernet and Fibre Channel only version.
The HFCT-741XPD supports Ethernet 10 GBase-LR (10 km LAN PHY, 10.3125 Gbit/s); Fibre Channel 10Gbit serial PMD, type 1200-SM-LL-L, (10km 10.51875 Gbit/s); and STM-64 rate 9.9532Gbit/s.
Both the Agilent HFCT-711XPD and HFCT-741XPD optical transceiver modules are available now in production quantities through Agilent's direct sales channel.
The HFCT-711XPD is sampling now with production quantities available in the fourth quarter of 2005. Request a free brochure from Avago Technologies ...
