The 1310 nm XFP transceiver is a high performance, cost effective module for serial optical data communications applications specifi ed for signal rates of 10.30Gb/s to 10.52Gb/s. It is compliant too XFP Multi-Source Agreement (MSA) Rev. 3.0. The module is designed for single mode fi ber and operates at a nominal wavelength of 1310nm. The transmitter section incorporates modulated 1310nm distributed feedback laser (DFB). The receiver section uses Agilent’s MOVPE grown planar SEDNET PIN photodetector for low dark current and excellent responsivity. 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 simplifi es interfacing to external circuitry. The electrical interface is made using an industry standard 0.8 mm pitch 30-pin right angle connector.
