Avago Technologies at OFC/NFOEC introduced a four-channel parallel optic transceiver module that operates at 3.125gbps per channel for an aggregate bandwidth of 12.5gbps and a link distance up to 350 meters.
This distance and high-bandwidth capacity gives network designers the flexibility to create larger systems in central offices or large enterprises, the company said.
The HFBR-7934Z parallel optic transceiver module complies with Restriction of Hazardous Substances, EU Directive 2002/95/EC, and features strong electromagnetic interference performance, Avago said. The module helps network and telecom equipment manufacturers meet demand for terabit data transfer in interconnects for high-end routers, server clusters and other high-performance computing applications.
The HFBR-7934Z parallel optic transceiver module also meets the Pluggable Optics four-channel (POP4) multisource agreement, and combines an 850 nm VCSEL with custom laser-driver integrated circuitry. The module provides four transmit channels and four receive channels in one pluggable transceiver package.
Each channel operates up to 3.125gbps, compared with the 2.7gbps per channel bandwidth of previous POP4-compliant modules.
