Gao Comm Has Launched an Extreme-Compatible 10GBASE-SR XENPAK Transceiver

Gao Comm Inc of Toronto,Canada has launched an Extreme-compatible 10GBASE-SR XENPAK transceiver,which can be used in switches and modules that support XENPAK transceivers.

The model C018XX01 is a fully integrated 10.3Gb/s optical transceiver module that consists of an 850nm-wavelength optical transmitter and receiver,XAUI interface,and mux and demux with clock and data recovery(CDR).It is hot Z-pluggable and features up to 10.3GBd bi-directional data links and RoHS compliance.

The transceiver uses an 850nm vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser(VCSEL)to achieve a transmission distance of up to 300m over 50/125 micron multi-mode fiber.It also allows for MDIO and DOM and has SC connectors.In addition,the transceiver is compliant with XENPAK multi-source agreement(MSA)Rev 3.0.Its optical interface is compliant with IEEE802.3ae and 10GBASE-SR.

The 10GBASE-SR XENPAK transceiver belongs to GAO's family of Extreme compatible transceivers.This line includes a wide variety of transceivers such as its Extreme-compatible 10GBASE-ER XENPAK transceiver,which use a cooled 1550nm externally modulated laser(EML)to achieve a transmission distance of up to 40km over standard single-mode fiber.The line also includes an Extreme-compatible 1000Base-LX GBIC transceiver,which consists of two sections:the transmitter section incorporates a Fabry-Perot(FP)laser diode,and the receiver section uses an integrated InGaAs detector preamplifier(IDP)mounted in an optical header and a limiting post-amplifier IC.
