Optical engines power up standard
transceivers
A new range of optical engine components is designed to power any MSA optical module form factor, at 2.5 and 10Gbit/s, including 300-pin transponders, XFP, SFF, SFP and GBIC.

Integrated VCOs pack in more microwave functions
Now available from Link Microtek is a new range of low-cost, plastic-packaged MMIC voltage controlled oscillators (VCOs) that feature a high level of integrated functionality.
Microwave components on short lead times
Link Microtek has produced a new shortform brochure providing an overview of the wide range of Narda microwave components now available from stock in the UK and continental Europe.
The UQube3100 is a 10Gbit/s engine for up to 20km transmission at 1310nm, and the cooled TQube1000 is for DWDM and Sonet 10Gbit/s transmission up to 80km.
Complementing these transmit engines are the 10Gbit/s receivers, RQubeP1000 (PIN) and RQubeA1000 (APD).
Serving the high performance SFP market, TriQuint offers long reach 2.5Gbit/s uncooled products at 1310 and 1550nm - the UQube3250 and UQube5250, respectively.
The APD RQubeA2500 is also available.
TriQuint's new breakthrough 2.5Gbit/s cooled engine, the TQube2500, is designed for demanding CWDM and DWDM SFP applications.
The Qube family of optical engine products is based on TriQuint's proprietary planar packaging technology, which allows integration of increased functionality, such as internal drivers and differential data inputs.
The Qube design is easily translated from uncooled to cooled lasers and from 2.5 to 10Gbit/s datarates, enabling a family of products to be readily designed into both SFP and XFP pluggable modules.
Optical performance for the Qube family is expected to be equivalent or superior to similar larger form factor discrete devices offered by TriQuint Optoelectronics.
